As I’ve recorded in the last day or so, we’ve been travelling to my hometown for a family funeral.
It was amazing as we left Mishawaka and headed for Romeo. There is a lot of emotion involved with going "home" and even more in returning to our real home. While we’ve only been here for 3 years, we’ve never felt more at home than we do here. Yesterday, both me and the kids felt a tremendous draw home.
As we took the kids to the park and even at the funeral, I couldn’t get over the emotion of this isn’t my home anymore. The same is true each time we go back to Chicago… it feels less and less like home all the time and Romeo feels more and more like the home we’ve always longed for.
Just for fun: With that thought in mind, I thought it would be fun to refresh my memory on Kristen and Adam’s "wishlist" for a ministry location. (History: Each night we would take Megan for a long walk and we’d dream of someplace God would have for us.) Near mountains, not in the midwest, somewhere near a large university, and nowhere near Detroit. Yeah, Romeo is all of those "no’s."

Barb added these words on Apr 30 06 at 10:26 pmI’m thankful that God put you and your family here in Romeo. You can always go and visit a large university go on vacation to the mountians or down south or out west. If you really want to you can avoid Detroit. Be like me and drive completely around Detroit, even if it takes you an extra two hours of drive time.
Stacey added these words on May 01 06 at 2:59 pmWe’ve had those same feelings. Last year when we were in Chicago we couldn’t believe that we had ever lived there!
During our time in Minnesota before we moved here to Ireland, it was so wonderful but also all our “no’s” too! =)
