Homesickness

Sometimes I'm very aware that I don't belong here, but this is where I must stay for now, often a stranger to myself, to the people I meet and the places I inhabit.

But I'm not going anywhere else until what I was sent to do has been done.

"For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labour for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account."
Philippians 1:21-24
