home
home. a constant topic on my mind lately as i try to figure out where in the world i am supposed to go next. nowhere feels like home lately. as sarah plain & tall said, 'there is always something to miss, no matter where you are.' i have never regretted the nomadic way that i grew up. i can name a million things that i have as a result of travel that i would never have without it. but there is a loss that comes along with moving so much. the last few days i have felt that loss so strongly in my indecisiveness about the future. i am weary of having no roots. can i trust the God that has led me this far to lead me in the new blankness of the future?

home's on my mind too.
tonight on a walk i passed a house with the door open and i looked inside and i remembered the weariness of being in other peoples' houses, remembered that even in this little town there are a million little cocoons and cozyworlds and ways of looking out at everything.
(a secret for you: i have a folder on my computer with pictures that speak home to me in it. not reminders of 'my' house, but images of the feeling of home. the folder is called 'home.' yes it is. probably a sign of rootlessness? maybe roots are overrated. maybe not...no answers here.)
you can trust Him. you will trust Him. sometimes it's hard to leap into the blank with joy and expectation instead of practical trepidation. i'm right there with ya right now. let's pray that wakeups will spring into our days and make the blank look like glorious possibility again.
long. should've emailed you instead. too late.
love
