Home.I love the sound of that word. You see, home for me has always been where my family and friends lived--not the ten years in Florida or this past year in Texas.
But for some reason, God wasn't ready to give us the green light to go back. We weren't ready. We had to spend this final year in Texas to take a deeper look at our life and our priorities.
It's come down to this--life is short--we want to spend it with people we love. Yes, despite the awful weather ahead of us.
We enjoyed wonderful times in PA.We raised our daughter there, buried three pets and owned two businesses. Memories flood us whenever we returned.
So we are starting over. Starting a business up again. Building a house to call home. Trusting God with all the details.
Life is never easy. But at least I will be living it again.

Wishing you the best. Keep us posted.
Terri, I am THRILLED for you! I've kept up with your posts and know how unhappy you were at times. You said the twelve words I firmly believe, too: Life is short. We want to spend it with people we love.
I read a sense of surrender and peace in your post that I haven't seen for some time. Now to stay positive even when it still might get hard - that's the test of your faith. So happy for you and I can't wait to hear what God will bring to your lives this coming year. Blessings on your trip and new adventure. Home is a good place to be.
Hip Hip Hooray! Three cheers for living it again. ;-)

I admire your choice to follow your heart.
May the peace of God that passes all understanding rule and reign in your hearts and minds through our Lord.
Bless you.
I'm excited for you, Terri! As long as I've been reading your blog, I've noticed how homesick you are for Pennsylvania and everyone there. I think this is a wonderful thing for you and your husband. :)
I hope your move is a blessing, and that you are really happy in your new (old) home. :)
You know that I wish you the best on your moving journey. I'll keep you in my prayers. Think of it this way, the move will be done and over with by this time next week. Woot!
It's so amazing how much we learn on our life journey. I'm so happy for you!
I was so happy to see you posted again, and even happier to read 'home' in your words. I pray for you.
I also am wishing you the best. God bless you as you move into the next chapter.
Best wishes on your move, Terri, and as you begin this new chapter in your lives. May there be many, many blessings that come your way as you go!
You sound so relieved and excited. My best to you and blessing in your new adventure Terri.
Wow, Terri. That was surprising news. I am SO HAPPY for you guys. Our paths have been similar, Terri. Let me tell you, you CAN go home again! Things won't be the same but they will be good. As you said, you will be HOME. Susan
That's so wonderful to hear!! Good luck with your new life, new business and new home. May God bless this new life.
Good for you, Terri! Life is too short not to live it to the fullest. I hope this move is just what you need.

Hi Terri,
It's been a while since we've connected. I'm glad to read that you are trusting God with the details and starting over and up again!
I pray it's everything and more that God has for you and your family!
Much love!
Psalm 27:13-14
Wishing you much joy and contentment in your new home. May dreams on hold during this transition begin to swirl again. And may the atmosphere be filled with His peace and glory.
Congrats.......

Blessings Terri, so glad you are going home and so excited you are starting a business. Also glad you are writing. God is good!
Another chapter, another adventure, more stories! Excited to see where the road (and your Guide) will take you. :)
Wishing you the best Terri. Glad you will be returning home, closer to the people you love.
Love this post! Good luck with this new life chapter. How cool that you're going "home."
Still praying for you!
Keep living the story--it's a good one.
BLess you!
Awesome. It's an act of faith to begin again. But God is the God of beginnings and He will meet you there. Just put everything big and small in his hands
