Always an Indiana Girl

 

 

 

 "Life took me to North Carolina, but I'll always be an Indiana Girl!"

In my life, I have lived in many different states and towns. It was not what I had planned in my life. I'm a mother who wants to be around all of my kids and grandkids. But unfortunately, they are also scattered around this United States.

 I have a son and granddaughter in San Antonio, Texas. I have two sons, six grandchildren, and one great granddaughter that live in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. And I have one son and four grandchildren that live in Greenville, North  Carolina, plus a grandson who lives in Sacramento, Kentucky.  

I was born in Evansville, Indiana and grew up in Newburgh, Indiana. I still have a lot of family there. Indiana will always be HOME!

I was reading about Abraham this morning in the Bible. The Lord had plans for Abraham. God told him to leave his father and go to another country. Abraham obeyed God and would sojourn in different countries as God commanded.

Genesis 26:3

Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee;...

Being in the ministry, God moved us around a lot. Sometimes I felt I didn't have a home. I have lived in North Carolina for over 12 years. For me that is a long time to live somewhere.

A few years ago, I realized I have a lot of homes. Even though I have sojourned in many different places, they were my home at the time. They were places I made memories, friends, faced obstacles,  but I had to believe that was where God wanted me at the time.

I know I am just a sojourner in this world. God has planned a permanent home for me in Heaven!

"This World Is Not My Home, I'm Just a Passing Through"
