God Doesn't Make Mistakes

Welcome to my blog, Home Sweet Home! Robin Hobb said, "Home is people. Not a place. If you go back there after the people are gone, then all you can see is what is not there anymore." Hmmmm...true enough, the people we love can define where we call home; however, for me it is also a place that is dear to my heart because it is where my life began and many cherished memories were formed. So when given the opportunity to come back home, well it was a no-brainer! I should say pursuing it was a no-brainer, but the reality of it is pretty overwhelming. You see, I moved from Salisbury shortly after my 18th birthday, joined the Army and left home for 25 years. Now, my life is coming full circle. God doesn't make mistakes so I don't question the opportunity. Still, it has been difficult for me to truly quantify exactly how I feel about this new chapter in my life. This blog will serve as a journal of my thoughts, feelings, fears and celebrations as I make this move. I visited Salisbury a few weeks ago and met my new teachers, staff and some students. It was exciting to say the least! I admit it felt great to be introduced as the new principal of Salisbury High School. Wow. My family, friends and classmates have expressed their joy and pride that I'm coming home and it has been extremely humbling for me. Several people have stated that my mother would be so proud of me! Now that truly means a lot and I so wish that she could be here. Coming home without parents is the bitter part of this bitter sweet journey. God doesn't make mistakes so I must prepare myself for what's ahead. I will move in about 10 days. I'm taking volunteers to help pack and clean :-)
