• Sunday, April 22, 2007 - Home Sick or Homesick?

I am writing here on a Sunday morning instead of taking notes in church as my youngest daughter is not feeling good. I took the others to church and then came back to be with her. She needed her Marmee. But now she is just resting on the couch next to me so I took this opportunity to post. We returned from FL last Monday and I sure do miss everyone down there. I especially miss my sweet Tiffany (my oldest daughter) and her "precious" baby growing safe inside her. I call the baby Precious so she is now looking for names they like that mean precious. I am trying to adjust to this country life but I'm such a people person that it is not easy. 32 years of friendships and memories tug at my heart every day. I do love this house and 5 acres. God is very good to us. But I have never been a farm girl before. We are going to start our garden this week. That too is overwhelming. It is approx. 1000 sq ft and already established. I've never had more than 100 sq ft! We planted potatoes before we went to FL and now are trying to decide what to plant and how much. We want enough to put up in the fall but not so much that we can't get it all done before it goes bad. I told the girls just because the ground is tilled doesn't mean we have to fill every sq inch! We also might want to stagger some things so we're not harvesting all at once. Any input would be welcomed. We are in NW KY. Must go now and get Becca some soup and take a wonderful roast out of the oven. It has been cooking all morning and it smells sooo good! May God bless you all this Lord's Day.

Posted by ByFaith
You posted a comment on my blog earlier referring to unschooling. And, yes, I know about Charlotte Mason and have read lots of her writings. I have a whole set of books she wrote and I've used many suggestions from her ideas and methods. Thanks for commenting. I read about your 'homesickness' for 'home'. Being where God wants you is God's best for you and I know you know where that is. One thing I've noticed about myself, when God does move me back to the place my heart longs for I always miss the place I'd been while I was being homesick. We lived in Blacksburg, Virginia 15 years ago when my husband was working on his PhD at VA Tech. I missed my home here, but after a while God knitted my heart to that place as my home and when He did call us back to our 'home', I so miss being there. Our wonderful friends and church family that we only get to see a few times a year. Branching out spreads our roots deep and we form friendships and relationships that could never have been if we only stay in one place forever. God will lead you!
