'Home' is a complicated word

My 4 year old daughter sang me a song today that she made up...."We don't live here, we don't live anywhere....."   That sums up our lives right now.  She also has asked us multiple times why do we have to go back and forth so much.  So, where is home for us?  Last time we were stateside in 2010, coming to America felt like coming home.  This time, in 2013, home can best be described for all 4 of us as in Prilep, Macedonia on Bitolska street.  It happens as you adjust and as God gives you a love for the place He has called you and the people He has called you to. We love and are so blessed to be here in America for a time, but our hearts in many ways stay there. Just a few days before we left, we had a baptism service where 6 of our dear brothers and sisters in Christ were baptized.  It was such a sweet day and one that will etched in our hearts forever.  I'll close with a few pictures from that wonderful day that reminded us most of all that heaven is truly our only home...
