After a brief stint in downtown Ottawa, we are now back in the wilderness of Gatineau, which feels much more our "style". A big yard for Will to run around wildly. A full house for us to be as noisy and stompy as we want, and windows that we leave open all day and hear the birds singing from sun up to sun down.
Football has started up again. I wonder sometimes how we got into this strange life. I would have never in my wildest dreams imagined that we would be moving across the country twice a year. How uprooted we would feel. How it would so impact my heart. We now at least have our cabin in Alberta as an anchor for our wandering souls. And know that no matter what we have a little 800 square feet to call our own and go back to, regardless of where we are for such a large chunk of our year. It provides a reassurance that I can't begin to describe.
I try my best to keep in mind that "home is where ever I'm with you". You being my husband, and our two darling boys. And as long as we are together, that is the most important thing.
This week I was reading Psalms after supper with Will, and we came across Psalm 46:10...
"Be still, and know that I am God"
After a particularly trying and turbulent week, I feel like my soul needed this. It's funny how those verses always seem to come at the right time.
