Hello friends!
This fall I move to Bulgaria in order to answer the call and respond to local bulgarian community needs through medical and minstry work, HOW WONDERFUL?!
My hope for this blog is for it to be a tool used to share insight, thoughts, expirience, personal growth, and to process through topics that the Lord places on my heart. I have never been much of a writer but am seriously looking forward to sharing with both friends and family through written words. I hope you find each post encouraging, thought provoking, educational, or simply entertaining. It's a honor to share with you. truly.
Here are some thoughts I've had over the last month in figuring out what it means to be at home and what the word 'home' really encompases.
HOME...
Is it a location? A building with structure? A feeling or mindset? Maybe it's people, family and community? Or what if it's where our memories are made or remain? When we get to live as we were created?
Home.. what is Home for me?
Home is a house of little memories collected and lived
Home is a warm hug from the beloved that bore my life
Home is the cool dry air in the high dessert of Central Oregon
Home is a table with shared food and significant faces
Home is hearts in deep connection
Home is a big ol’ jumble of opinions
Home is sunshine coming through the curtains to light a newly gifted day
Home is shared interests and unique mindsets
Home is being known for your small things
Home is conversations that move from tears to freedom
Home is family pie
Home is blowing bubbles on a mountain top, or staring transfixed at the stars
Home is living in truth
Home is being listened to and laughed with
Home is getting an invitation followed by excitement
Home is messy, a space for growth
Home is love when you don’t want to
Home IS LOVE... patient, kind, without envy or a boastful or arrogant heart, not insisting of our own way and void of resentment or irritation. There's no enjoyment in doing wrong but full joy in the truth; bearing all, believing all, hoping in all, and enduring all. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)
Home is pursuing love, so do we ever really leave home at all?
