I heard this song last night on my way home. I started crying. Somedays I feel we're so incredibly far from what matters we might never find our way back.



Home – Alan Jackson – Greatest Hits Collection

In a small town down in Georgia over forty years ago
Her maiden name was Musik til she met that Jackson boy
They married young like folks did then, not a penny to their name
But they believe the one you vow to love
Should always stay that same

And on the land his daddy gave him, a foundation under way
For a love to last forever or until their dying day
They built a bond that's strong enough to stand the test of time
And a place for us to turn to when our lives were in a bind

And they made their house from a toolshed
Grandaddy rolled down on two logs
And they builts walls all around it
And they made that house a home
They taught us 'bout good living
They taught us right and wrong
Lord there'll never be another place
In this world I'll call home

My momma raised five children, four girls then there was me
She found her strength with faith in God and love of family
She never had a social life, home was all she knew
Except the time she took a job, to pay a bill or two

My daddy skinned his knuckles on the cars that he repaired
He never earned much money but he gave us all he had
He never made the front page but he did the best he could
And folks drove their cars from miles around
To let him look underneath the hood

And they made their house from a toolshed
Grandaddy rolled down on two logs
And they built walls all around it
And they made that house a home
They taught us 'bout good living
They taught us right and wrong
Lord there'll never be another place
In this world I'll call home
No there'll never be another place in this world
That I'll call home

Katie,
Just reading your blog about made me start crying. Hang in there! Things will work out. Sometimes God's will seems so hard to find or understand. Once on a Christian radio program I heard Charles Stanley talking about how we could know God's will and I have since clung to this teaching and used it to make decisions in my/our life. He said that as long as you are reading the Bible and following the principles taught and praying to God for guidance then you are in His will. There isn't always a right or wrong answer. Often there are several good choices that would be fine with God.
I hope this helps take some of the pressure off of trying to make the "right" decision. Our family is praying for you both.
Love you much!
