One heart, Two Homes.

"Wherever you are, be all there." -Jim Elliot

This quote is so challenging for me.
We often had to remind ourselves of this while we were in Swaziland.

I live in two different worlds. My heart has a place in each. I love to be a part of both. When I'm in one, my heart longs for the other to be there too. I wish so desperately that I could combine the two.

On one side lives my family. Everything I've ever known. My comfort, my life. The part of me that is normal and natural.

On the other side you'll find God's children and His people. Precious little ones that are so in need of love. My very heart. I hurt at the thought of the ones that are alone right now, not being cared for, not being loved. In a world that is so very different from the one I was born in. A world that is becoming mine.

I wish I could be in two places at once.

But it's not possible.

When I'm at here, I want to be in another country loving and loving in Jesus name.
When I get the chance to be on the field, I miss my family. 

"Wherever you are be all there." 

It's a challenge. It's a choice.

And I try to do my best.
