I'm Coming Home...

I’m coming home

I’m coming home

Tell the World I’m coming home

Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they’ve forgiven my mistakes
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
Tell the World that I’m coming

Back where I belong, yeah I never felt so strong
(I’m back baby)
I feel like there’s nothing that I can’t try
And if you with me put your hands high
(put your hands high)
If you ever lost a light before, this ones for you
And you, the dreams are for you

Yes the rumors are true! I am coming back to Jersey. I moved to Indiana the end of August! I came here to work and try a new environment. I am finding that this lifestyle is not for me. I have been unable to find a church. Not being able to find a church is a huge struggle in my life. I know I will not find the same church family that I have come from but I at least just wanted a church to attend. I did find a church and they were great people but it just wasn't for me. I said that I would simply come back just because of that! Even though that is a huge part of it it is not the only reason. I miss my family tremendously! My goal was a year and even though I beat Phil's prediction about me only lasting til Christmas, I am ready to go back to them. I know we don't all always get along but we are family and still have pretty awesome relationships! Of coarse I miss my friends. I have not had much of a social life here in Indiana for numerous reasons. I am a very social person :) so for me not to have that part of my life is hard. I do feel God had His reasons for taking that out of my life. I feel that God sent me to Indiana for a purpose and now He is telling me I am done it is time to go home! I also miss the beach ;) haha had to throw that one in there!

I started really missing home around New Years but I was just gonna hang in there and finish out the year. A few weeks ago I got a facebook message from someone who I do not talk to on a regular basis but lived two doors down from her growing up. She and I were going back and forth and she told me about a job and said just to apply and see where it goes. I truthfully was still not really thinking about going back to Jersey. But then the ball just started rolling. I checked out that job that she was talking about and found another one and I was like well this one would bring me back a lot sooner I do not think I can do so I didn't at first. Then I kept going back to it and back to it.. So I called my mom and talked to her about it. I decided to just go for it. Then it continued to okay I really do want to go home. I started looking up some other jobs and started applying more and more. So that part was over now I just had to wait... So then came okay where are you going to live.. I made a phone call to Momma K and asked her if I could possible rent out Alys's old room. After her and Papa K talked she got back to me and said I am good to live with them. Well the place to live came before the place of work but I am learning to "Wait patiently on the Lord". I first decided that I was not going to come back with no job but then the more I thought about it I feel that it is better to come back even if I do not hear from the 5 jobs I have applied for plus the 4 nanny jobs. I am looking for something more permanent then the nanny jobs but figured that I can do those til that happens. I have applied mostly for secretary jobs and I am hoping for one of them!

With ALL that being said if I get a job I will be home the weekend of February 18th. If I do not get a job then I will be home the weekend of February 25th. Julie is going to come get me either way and if it is the 25th weekend then Andrew is going to come with her!

I am very grateful that the Jonases allowed me to come out here and have this experience. They opened up their home to me and let me into their family. They gave me a job and a place to live. I have made some lasting memories with them! It will not be easy to say goodbye but I know that it is time. Again I am thankful for the past 5 months and thankful to them for allowing me to try a new adventure!

I am excited and nervous for this new adventure but I am so happy to getting back to my family. I am praying that I hear from a job soon. So now that I got that out I ask that you pray for me to hear back from a job soon. I truly feel that this is where God is leading me.

Thank you so much for your prayers!
