Finding "Home"

It's been a while since we have written on here....I'm not even sure who all still checks this blog!  But for those of you who do, I still want to share random thoughts and life stories along the way!

We are doing well....Brandon is planning on working at Wyndham again next month once he gets his real estate license and I've had a few interviews for a student financial advisor position at Point Loma Nazarene University.  We are continuing to ask God to lead us where He wants us!

We have been on the journey to get "settled" these last few months.  Since we landed in America back in June, we have been going from one place to another, never really staying in one place long enough to unpack and feel "normal".  That has been a hard thing for me.  It is a strange feeling to feel displaced - like you aren't really sure what or where home is.  You know sometimes you have those days where you just feel like, "I want to go home!!"?  Well, I feel like that often, but then I stop and think, I don't really have a "home" to go to.  Not that I don't love getting to stay with my family and spend time with them, but their house doesn't feel like my home (and we are kind of crowding it! :) ).

I was telling one of my girlfriends, who also recently uprooted all of life as she knows it, this and she shared with me something that I found really helpful.  She said she was struggling with all of the change and not having anything stable in her life, and she felt like God was saying to her, "I am your stability."  When everything feels in limbo, suitcases are your "closets", you are seeing someone different every day, and you feel like you don't have a place to make your home, God is the one stable thing amidst all of it.  He knows everything that I feel and think, and He is always there, always the same.

A good thing to remember I think....

Love you all!
