Home...a desired place of comfort and love, permanence, stability, but why is it never enough. We build, decorate, add and take away, then we move on to a new place or a new desire. We are not content. Is it really because we yearn for a place that is perfection, a place that we were made for, a place that could only be filled by one, the Lord God our maker. I'm yearning for a different place today, for a place of perfect love and contentment. I know that I can get there, but sometimes it feels far away. What are you yearning for today?

All I want is some order in our chaotic apartment filled with boxes and packaging pellets scattered about. Mo matter how much I unpack in a day there is still more to do....
OOOh Melissa, I so needed that right now. I am in this constant state of yearning for being back at home in Vancouver and for having everything together. Too true that we hope for perfection...perfect homes, perfect connections and that perfection is definitely the Lord our maker and the lover of our souls. I have been feeling this inner tugging for a while to draw closer to Him and that every day I fill my life with surface things is another day of discontentment. It isn't that I fully forgo my relationship to God but rather that I hold other things too important. I am so yearning for the Lord and heaven, if only in my heart. THANK you so much for a perfectly timed reminder. xoxo
i simply want my own bedroom and will decorate it with all my heart haha
I yearn just to stay home. I have made my beach house into my studio space. It is wonderfully messy and it inspires me to create and sketch and sew and solder and I love it!
Wow, this post just backed up what I was thinking about today as I heard the song "New Song" by Ginny Owens. I am definitely yearning for the peace and contentment that I know comes from following God's holy purpose for me. "Stuff" just seems to satisfy less and less the closer I get to Jesus. It's so amazing. Thank you for writing this!
