My heart is so full tonight. I have been somewhat perplexed by my emotions today. We traveled home from a week long visit to see family today. I think that this has been the first car ride back from Ga during which I did not have my usual conversation with God.. The conversation typically starts with me considering all the possible scenarios that would get me to move back to Ga. I of course talk through each one with Him and none of them seem to fit. Then God reminds me of all I have in Ky. All that He has given me and how much He has blessed our life here. It is abundantly clear we are where He wants us to be.
Well this time I didn't even begin this conversation. Don't get me wrong, I did cry once we got home. But I realized that my tears were because my heart is too full of love. It has to overflow somehow. I LOVE Georgia, and I LOVE Kentucky. It won't all fit in my heart at once. So on those occasions when I am feeling each of those loves so strongly it will most likely come out in tears. It's the first time I've been able to celebrate homesickness as an abundance of love rather than mourning a loss.
