Home is where the heart is...

Recently, I was feeling a little overwhelmed by our move to a place where everything would be unfamiliar. I felt disoriented, as the reality of our move sank in, and the frequency of goodbyes started among our friends. It made the stability of "home" a little shaky.


Then the Lord reminded me of His comfort during trips overseas in years past, and how He helped me feel at home in a foreign land. While in India, He brought along a translator for my team, whose eyes and smile glowed just like my mom's. Another time while in Argentina, I was partnered with a girl who's personality and spunk was just like my best friend and roommate, Allana.


It was encouraging to remember how God surrounded me with new friends who felt like loved ones at home and allowed me to feel comfortable connecting with others I had just met. It was a blessing that gave me a sense of His love. THANKFULLY, for the first time, I am not moving alone! And as God is teaching me a new security while moving and I am learning to trust wherever God leads Thai and I, together He will make us at home.


This has been a peaceful revelation as we walk through our transition, and as a result, I am ready to take the next step in this new season with hope and security in Him.
