Home is where we are not?

So we are in the good old US of A!!!! I am very happy to be here and even more happy to know that in a month we will be returning to where our hearts are! I asked a missionary friend a few months ago "where is 'home' for you?" and she said " home is where we are not." if we are here home is there and when we are there home is here. I though about that and liked the idea. That is how we feel too! we love our families and we are very blessed to be here visiting them but home is in the Philippines now and when we were there we always talk about coming home to see every one. When I started to think about it the more I realized how true this statement was yet in a different way. Our real home is with Jesus in the Kingdom of God in heaven! We are only travelers here on earth. And then I realized that we are all MISSIONARIES here on earth. We are all to be fishers of men. We are all ministers of the gospel to someone? We are all called to tell of the goodness of Jesus, and we are all waiting to GO HOME! I have only been here for four days and yet I am still missing my life there in the PI. How crazy is that? But I do. As we all should be missing our true home in heaven with our heavenly father. What a day that will be when we are there sitting at the throne of God worshiping together and living in perfect relationship the father and each other! So as we are here in California, I ask that you would pray for us as we will be traveling all over southern Cali and we will be very busy visiting family and supporters. We are slightly home sick and also thrilled to be here all at once! We are excited to share with you all what God is doing in our lives there in the PI and also tell about His faithfulness to us as we fallow after him. Thank you for taking the time to read about my adventures and I hope you are encouraged by them. God Bless!
