Country vs. City

That's right. Country vs. City! Which one do we choose??

It's been a tough year on the not so charm anymore! Ok, fact is, I made it that way.  
If you follow my blog, you know we live in the Country. Out. Land of Nowhere. And most days, I love it. But last year most days I hated it. Truth is, I got a dose of "City", and I looooved it more. So without thinking and without rationalizing I called a real estate agent to come put our house up for sale and move us! At any cost, just move me!!!!
The place that I am calling the "city" is a town about 30 minutes from us that blings baby. It has a Starbucks on every corner, shops, restaurants, movies, concerts, you name it and the best part is the golf cart paths. You can take your golf cart to any of these places. Its a busy-laid back city, sounds contradicting, but that's what it is. The people of this little place are different. Well, maybe I am the one who is different. Whatever. So they just ride around all day, eat and shop. Or that's what it looks like. The houses have no yards, so there's more time for family, right?! The kids ride golf carts to school. How Awesome would that have been not to have to ride the cheese?!
But truth is, my family wouldn't be happy with all that bling. I raise 3 boys (counting Jason :)) and they love the county. They love the space and freedom. They love the outdoors. They love the solitude. And I love my family. So I've decided to seek reality, look from a different perspective and beg God for contentment. And its working.
I am falling back in love with my roots. So who knows where God will lead us, but I know for now where He is keeping us and that is ok with me!
Now, bring on the bonfires! It's Fall Y'all!
