Finding "Home" in 2013
As my husband transitions out of the military and into civilian life, the future is unknown. I don't know where we will be living or what God has in store for us. But at the beginning of 2013, he placed the word "Home" on my mind. "Home" is my vision, my promise, that no matter where God takes us, He will provide all that we need there. He will make it our home. These posts share our journey to that home. "Settle down, it will all be clear, Don't pay no mind to the demons, They fill you with fear, The trouble it might drag you down, If you get lost you can always be found, Just know you're not alone I'm gonna make this place your home." (Home by Phillip Phillips)
