Home Is Where the Heart Is.

So, we go through phases as we grow up. We go through the punk rock phase, the good student phase, the rebel, the angel... you get the picture. But as John and Stacy Eldridge say, we were created to be one person, with one mind, one heart, one spirit. It's when the world gets to us, that we veer off course. We go through season of insecurities, of acceptance, of "am I loved?", "Will I ever love?". Seasons of trying new things. New hairstyles, new music, new clothes. But I have to say, through the last ten years of my journey, I've rounded the moutain, and I feel like I'm back to where I was originally planted. Some may say that the situations and occurences that happened in my life happened for a reason; some may say that they could have been prevented and maybe they shouldn't have happened. All I know is.... "All things work together for my good." Of course, I have a long life ahead of me, with many more adventures and seasons, but I feel like I am coming into WHO I AM AND WHO I WAS CREATED TO BE. I feel like the insecurities of the past are dropping off of me. The course I was set on at age 13, I feel as though I'm picking it back up again. A lot of stuff started happening to my family at that age, and it was a struggle to find who I was in God in the midst of all the chaos. I feel like I can say, "I'm home." I haven't felt this way since about that age; 13.

I'm so thankful.

"He picked me up and He turned me around and He placed my feet on solid ground."
