I Like To Call My Self Homeless but I Think Wandering Nomad Is More Appropriate

For a while now i have felt "homeless". I dont want to throw that word around lightly because I do not endure the hardships like many but I am unsure as to where "home" really is. All my life i have moved from place to place never living in one place much longer than 6 years. Now that I am older and as I look back at this type of living I long and search for a place to call "home." When I was born I lived in Akron, Indiana. This lasted only till i was 2 where I then moved to Buda, Illinois. I wasnt there long till we moved half way through my 1st grade school year to Charelston, Illinois. Charelston became a more long term place to stay till after 6th grade when we moved to Sullivan, Indiana. Sullivan was and sometimes still is the place I call home its where I have spent some good time. I have had some of my most memerable times in ol Sullyvill and it was the place I stayed the longest. But, after I graduated it was time to go again. I was headed up to Gilead, Indiana with my grandma and grandpa. With me going into College the comeing fall this made this resedence only a place to stay. The next summer i stayed at my mothers in Rochester, Indiana. The summer after that I worked in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and now this summer I am in San Antonio, Texas. Now, I dont know about you all but this kind of life is great for a while but there comes a point where for me I just want to be in one spot for a while. I go and meet new people everywhere I go and then i up and move on to some place new and start all over. I normaly enjoy the nomadic lifestyle its great to just be able to get up and go. There is something about having nothing but what you can carry and just following God and doing life. even now as I type this I like the idea but now, the things I am doing are not like that. maybe it is because deep down I want a place to call "home" so each place I go I try to make that a place to call "home" (by the way, thats not working) so here I am again waundering through life seeking God and knowing that he has me in the palm of his hand leading, guiding, and directing me so that one day he can bring me to my true "Home" with Him!
