Welcome To Crystal's Blog

It is my prayer that God will use my writings to bless you today. I write straight from the heart. I write as a venue to praise God, and grow as a woman. I am a woman saved by grace! I am married to the most amazing man, and I have been blessed with four beautiful children. God uses my family to teach me and subsequently increases my faith in Him. At times I write through tears of joy, and at times tears of sorrow. Join me as I honestly share my heart and give God praise for His love!

How it feels to be a Nomad



Nomad : A member of a people or a tribe that has no permanent abode but moves about from place to place.

Lord today I feel like a nomad. I am lonely, friendless, and homeless. I am not homeless in the sense of not having a warm place to lay my head, but not knowing where to call home. Where is home? We live in Seoul much of the time, spend summers in Bloomington, IN, and currently on a 5 month stent in Boston. I am not trying to come across as ungrateful. I am truly grateful, I find joy in seeing new things, meeting new people, seeing how God is going to provide, and living a life of discovery. Today, however, I feel homeless! I find comfort in knowing my home away from home is in Heaven. Today I long for Christ's love! To feel his love so strong and pure that my temporary loneliness is washed away by a flood God's peace. Philippians 4:11 "Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therefore to be content. I desire your ways and not my own. Help me to keep my focus on your plan, and not the plan I have for myself. Although temporary loneliness is inevitable, permanent contentment is attainable!!!
