There are hard things about both staying and leaving, I think. Good word, Teresa. Thank you for commenting.

I love this perspective! When I moved to SC from Fl - I felt very homesick. I never thought I would leave my town, I loved it so. Now, looking back, I see what made SC my home. My God and my family. It isn't a place. A house. Even a church. It is Him.

When I struggle with this, He always leads me to Acts 17:24-28: "The God who made the world and everthing in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. From one man he made every nation of men, that tey should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. For in him we live and move and have our being." I love the part that says, "and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.
