back "home" in Belize

     Had a wonderful Easter with my sister!  What a treat to get to spend time with her and my brother-in-law, their two sweet girls, and even my mom for part of the break!  As if that wasn't enough, I also got to visit with college friends and after-college friends.  So much visiting in so little time.  God is good.

      

     Now back to Belize, back to MY life.  While I enjoyed the vacation immensely, strangely enough, I was ready to get back here.  I've been here long enough that it feels like home now.  My house, my Church, my school, my town... it's not only where I live but it's now part of who I am.  Funny how a place can do that to you.  Home really is where your heart is.

     When I was 9 my family moved from IL to MS, I remember my mom would refer to IL as "going home" all the time, and then while visiting IL she would refer to MS as "home", I didn't get it, I wondered why she called both places home and assumed it was accidental.  Now it make sense to me.  It is possible to have more than one home.  Every place you've lived that still holds a special place in your heart, that brings back sentiments and memories, every place that has been such a part of you it's somehow formed who you are . . . is HOME.  

      Now I'm back "home" in Belize.  I feel comfortable here, I love it here, it feels right for me to be here, it's part of who I am now and part of me for the rest of my life I'm sure, so, for right now Belize is home... and even when I don't live here it will most likely still feel like home.

     

sending my love to all my friends and family at home :)
