this is home

This weekend David and I noticed how we have very quickly changed our label for the property we bought on Hickory. At first, we would tell the kids, "Time to go to 'the lot'". Then it became, "Time to go to 'the construction site'". Just in the last few days, it has changed to, "Time to go to 'the house'".

On our way over to 'the house' tonight, I could barely hold back tears when a song from the Prince Caspian soundtrack came on the radio. It is called, "This is Home". The lyrics are very relevant to me and our situation.

I've got my memories
They're always
Inside of me
But I can't go back
Back to how it was
I believe now
I've seen too much
But I can't go back
Back to how it was
Created for a place
I've never known

Chorus:
This is home
Now I'm finally
Where I belong
Where I belong
Yeah, this is home
I've been searching
For a place of my own
Now I've found it
Maybe this is home
Yeah, this is home

Belief over misery
I've seen the enemy
And I won't go back
Back to how it was
And I got my heart
Set on
What happens next
I got my eyes wide
It's not over yet
We are miracles
And we're not alone

(Chorus)

And now after all
My searching
After all my questions
I'm gonna call it home
I got a brand new mindset
I can finally see
The sunset
I'm gonna call it home

(Chorus)

Now I know
Yeah, this is home

I've come too far
Now I won't go back
This is home
