As you can see in the picture above, I am having a great time at FOCUS New Staff Training in Champaign, IL, but after 4 weeks (and with 2 more to go) I am definitely beginning to feel a little homesick. Here are just a *few people I miss a lot...
Holy Nashville roommates
(why don't we have a recent picture together?)
Amazing Auburn friends
My adorable parents
My silly sisters
Sweet Chad Michael
I miss you all a lot, but I am praying for you.
*I would like to acknowledge honorable mentions for this homesick post: Natasha (+Brett and Katherine), Ha Cha, and all others, that by some great oversight of my own have been omitted.

Why am I not on this list?!! Offensive. :)
I love you so much!
Natasha!!! You don't live at my two homes (Auburn and Nashville), so what I have for you isn't homesickness, it's just missing you a lot!!!
As someone who suffered acutely from homesickness, I can see some good things coming from it in hindsight. One is a healthy sense of detachment, at least for me. The hurting would go on so long and so deeply, that I had to learn to detach from it. It also forced me to find another, truer home with God. And that home can never be taken away. I also learned that it comes to an end in joy. Just think how happy will be to come home, much happier than if you had never left!
