Time, magnified

There are faith songs that try to tell me that my time here on earth is only for a little while...stay tuned and my tears will be wiped away. I believe all that, but my pain and longing magnify the weariness that time here brings. My separation from Nate is a constant pain, and it sometimes blinds me from remembering where he is and that I'll see him again. It was quite difficult to drive today, looking through tear filled eyes. I haven't cried like that in a while. God, what I need is strength and patience. I want to fulfill whatever purpose you have for me.
