| First flight of vacation! |
Five glorious weeks of vacation was what was promised. I’d been dreaming of vacation for a while but I didn’t think I “needed” it. I was happy working with my kiddos and being in Mozambique, solving the plethora of daily challenges and problems while getting to work with people I care for. But the Amalfi Coast and Rome and Florence and Pompeii and London were on the itinerary...need I say more?!
Phil has been working in the States since December so he afforded us this amazing opportunity to explore Europe for the first time, alongside my mom & dad. We also had a chance to spend a little time with Phil & his 2nd oldest brother in London. And while Italy blew our minds, quite literally, with all the history, beauty and the warmth of the beautiful people, there is still no place like HOME.

Mozambique is our home. When I say to myself: “I just wanna go home,” I’m only thinking of one place, which is here. Some say home is where the ❤️ is, and while I think that’s true, it depends on what lives in your heart. For me, Jesus takes up most of the space in there, followed by my family - mainly my kids.

| Nothing better than coming home! |
Home is where my kids are. Home is where I hear Mama, Mooooom, Mommy A.L.L. the time. Home is where little hands knock softly at my door at 2am and then say ‘I don’t feel good, Mama.’ Home is where tears are wiped, things get broken, mistakes are made, lessons are learned, and life happens.
I feel tired at times, but I mostly just want more - more time with my kids, more lessons learned, more opportunities to teach them love, grace, mercy and that life is for living & giving to others. While Europe was truly a dream come true - and I’m so thankful for how hard Phil worked/is working so we could go - there’s truly no place like H.O.M.E.
Happy to be HOME,
