The idea of home is one that constantly intrigues me. I love the thought of it, the idea of it, and the hope for it. I usually use the phrase “I’m just a kid trying to make it home” when people ask how I’m doing and more importantly, when they ask about my spiritual life. I kinda wear it out and sometimes people get annoyed with me saying that but, oh well.

It just makes sense to me to have a home, whatever that may be, that’s bigger then us. One that has to do with more then us, but one that we are a part of it. Ill explain a little more in the next paragraph. You see, ultimatley, I consider heaven my home. Hence, I’m just a kid trying to make it home but, I think there is more to it here on this dreadful earth.

Going back to explaining what i meant about home being bigger then us but including us, this is what i meant. When you finally find that job or career you want, that’s a little bit of home. When you finally meet that person that you know you can’t live without, that’s a little bit of home. When you realize that the very air you are breathing right now is a gift, that’s a little bit of home. It’s bits and pieces of this life that come together to create a place that I call home.

There is so much that makes up the idea of home, at least in my head. Like Paul said, “I’ve learned what it looks like to have a lot and to have a little but whatever, I’m content”. I believe that Paul was home, here on this earth. Making due until he hit his ultimate home in heaven. So, what does that look like for me, right now?

I have no idea, I’m still a kid trying to find it, but I do have a peace that I will. I have a peace that somewhere down the road we’ll all find that place where we belong. That place where we become complete, a place that holds all of our dreams and desires. a place that we are lucky enough to call our home.

For me, I’m getting a closer and closer each day but not there yet. It’s a fun journey, a painful one though, but fun and necessary none the less.

Anyways, I’m going home now, I’ll post more later.
