Oh, Sarah, you know I feel this. We are so happy to be here in Germany. But just this morning, one of my kids confessed to me through tears, “I feel really homesick. But I don’t even know where home is.” You’ve written another beautiful piece here about the tension. I love the last three sentences so much--my prayer too. ❤️

As someone who has lived in 8 different homes in 4 different states in the last nine years, I feel this. What a beautiful way of expressing it.

That's a lot of homes in a few, short years! I hope you have found a little beauty in each one. <3
