HOME AGAIN --- Two years ago we moved to another area within the same state. It didn't work out, so we're back. It feels good, but bittersweet. One of the reasons we had moved was to be close to our youngest grandchildren. I miss them. But other circumstances made it necessary for us to return to the city we had lived in for over 30 years.
We have resumed activities that we were previously immersed in. Same church, same dentist, same mechanic, etc. I believe that God uses us where we're at. So why did I move back? God gives us people to walk with us on this journey --- relatives, friends, co-workers, spouse. Not all people are in the same place on the God-uses-you-where-you're-at theory. Feeling and emotion trump logic most every time.
God STILL works with us where we're at --- even if our decisions are not in line with what he wants for us. That's what makes repentance so important. Every moment of every day we are given a new opportunity to act better, do better, BE better. That was Jesus's message: Stop doing that. Start doing this.
We can create a home wherever we are at, because, wherever we are at, God is there.
