It's funny how God works.
I had typed out an entirely different post (maybe you already read it!) Then I went to post it on Instagram and the Spirit changed the message!
"Leaving the old comforts of home for the new comforts of home to look forward to the redeemed comforts of home."
On June 16, 2025, I left all the comforts and familiarity of my old earthly home to come to my new "home" in my soon-to-be HUSBAND!
And what a sweet home I have found in him.
He is the patient, patient, patient (did I mention patient!) constant to my ever-changing wild and crazy ideas.
He is the rest to my work.
He is my rock in the storm.
He is so wonderful!
But in addition to gaining a new home in my love, uprooting my life has shown me that home is where Christ is.
"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." ~Matthew 6:21
As I learn to view Christ as my home, it changes my whole outlook on life.
When Christ is my home, heaven is the place I long for.
When Christ is my home, my house and my job are temporary.
When Christ is my home, I see a person's soul rather than their poor behavior.
When Christ is my home, I have freedom to love my love DEEPLY and FEARLESSLY.
So now, as I look forward to marrying my love, I reflect on the beauty of the lesson I have learned (and am still learning!
The "home" I am looking for is an "imperishable, undefiled, and unfading" inheritance "kept in heaven for [me]." (1 Peter 1:4)
My home is in heaven.
And when my home is in heaven, things on earth start to look a little different.
So as I start a new chapter of this journey with my love, I praise the Lord.
My physical "home" used to be for me.
Then the Lord brought a beautiful partner to walk through life with as a new "home."
And together we are striving toward our eternal home. And that is the greatest home of all. <3
