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."
