home.

one of my favorite songs is by chantal kreviazuk, titled "feels like home."

it feels like home to me
it feels like home to me
it feels like i'm all the way back
where i belong...

i spent a week in my physical home, in western north carolina, before i left for camp. i called columbia my "home away from home" for four years during college.  even in north greenville, i am reminded of my physical home because of the mountains.  i am soon relocating to birmingham, where i will have a new life and a new home....

and yet, i'm confused about where is home.  i haven't felt "at home" in many of those places in a long time.  when was the last time i really felt at home? in a big city.  philadelphia. new york. boston.  my heart longs to be in the northeast, but it has to be content where God has placed me for now. i have no doubt that someday, among the skyscrapers and pollution and busy streets and many languages and trains and poverty, i will make my home. 




so...i guess my next question is, where do you consider home? is it where you are from? where you are? or a destination that you have yet to call your physical address?
