Well me and my mom arrived in Deland Florida today. For the first time since I have left Florida, I truly feel like I cam back "Home". I was always the one that said I would never come back here and felt Tennessee would always be my permanent home, but I am not so sure I feel that way anymore. I am not saying I would definitely move back to Florida, but being here for less than 24 hours has already made me realize how much I truly miss "family" and "friends". I miss having a home church, a safe haven. I miss fellowship. I miss the bonds that were mad. I miss old friends. It just made me realize how much of an impact your friends and family truly have on your life. They have helped to shape and mold the woman of God that I am today. As we were on our wat down here I began to think to myself that Florida will always truly be my "HOME". It is where My Story began. It is where my life started. It is where my friendships were first created, where my childhood began. It is apart of me and always will be. I really believe that "Home is Where Your Heart Is". A part of my heart will always and forever be in Florida. Who knows what is in store or what God has planned. I am excited to see this year unfold before my eyes. I know that God has shown himself so faithful to me these past 2 years and is daily showing me more. As I walk daily in him. I listen to his still small voice. I know that the best is still yet to come for me and my family. Wherever you go in life and whatever you do, never forget where you came from and who you are. You don't need to live in dwell in your past. But your past defines and shapes who you are as a person but you are not your past. I have seen that so much with coming back to Florida. So don't regret or be ashamed of who you are or where you came from because it is all apart of the big plan that God has for your life. The very intricate map that he has layed out for each and everyone of us! Hold on to every dream and don't loose sight of who you are in him.
