So…Hi there. I think the reasons for writing a blog of this kind are probably ultimately selfish. At least on my part. I have things to say, things I think about, things I need to write out to get straight in my head. But, for some reason, a journal doesn’t seem to cut it. It’s nice to think that someone out there might, might read my thoughts. Maybe those thoughts might make them think about some things too.

I called this blog “Homing” because it speaks of both returning to a safe place and moving forward towards something. As a wife and someday mother, I want my focus to constantly be turning back to the home I make for my family. As a Christian, my focus should also constantly be “straining forward to what lies ahead” (Phillipians 3:13 ESV). Trying to achieve that balance is what I want to write about. So there’s my thesis statement :-) . Time to make dinner.
