We Get It!

We're home! After one month away for Christmas and grandbabies, we are back in our paradise abode. (sigh!) We are soooo happy to be H-O-M-E! I have shared about our unsettledness at times, and that we knew that God wanted us here, we were happy to be here, but... were we sure? Don had said that it was when we returned from our first mainland visit that we would finally feel that this was home. Boy, howdy, was he ever right! The month away was a crazy rollercoaster ride (view previous blog), but the lows were such that we knew where we wanted to be. That doesn't mean we aren't completely crazy about our family. We'd move them here in a heartbeat if only they would comply! But life is more than that. Dare I say, even more than grandchildren!! But we are called to be more than Grammy and Grampy. I know that God is calling me in a clear direction. In fact, He's calling me to do more than one thing. But I just need to take a deep breath (I just did) and follow Him. It doesn't seem real. It doesn't seem fair. Haiti is leveled and suffering beyond any description. Southen California is being buried under mud and water. And we woke up to the sound of gentle tradewinds through the trees and doves with their bright coo. We woke to blue skies with white, puffy clouds. We woke to a rich blue sea, thick with humpbacks. This is the life we dreamed of and prayed for. And God said "yes". Who are we to tell Him anything less?
