Home.

What is home? Where is home? How do I adjust to a place where I’ve previously called home?

Over the year I have called many places home. To me home has not just been where I’ve laid my head, but has been where I have felt welcomed, loved, and accepted. Home was with my teammates on the race. So, within this past year I‘ve been able to call more than 10 different places/countries home. Now that the race is over I’m back to the familiar place I’ve always called “home”.

Although I haven’t lived in Flagstaff, Arizona for about 5 years, this place will always be considered home to me.

It’s a place where I grew up, it’s a place that feels a little more familiar, where I get excited to see the change in the color of trees and see beautiful white snow, where I see mountains, and where my brothers, parents, and grandparents are. It’s a place where I get to be with my family, a family that I grew up with and have always known.

I have learned so much in this past year and I’m excited to bring my family into all the things the Lord has shown me. Living back at home is not definitely not easy and challenging, but it’s humbling in many ways and this is where the Lord wants me to be.

To adjust being back at home I’m looking for community and pressing into what the Lord means for rest. From what I’ve learned rest is dedicated to the Lord and not falling into laziness. As much as I want to sit and watch netflix, the Lord has been keeping me busy and on my toes.

So, if any of you want to meet up to talk more or even pray together please let me know! I would love to sit and get coffee with you or have a facetime/video chat with you while we both drink coffee/tea/water/gatorade/kombucha or whatever it may be and talk. Let’s have a time to bring life and peace into each other’s lives.
