Is there really such a thing as feeling "settled"?

I'm just wonderin, because I'm not too sure that I've ever lived in that particular state-of-being!

Contentment I get - that one is pretty much cake. Happiness is my gig and peacefulness isn't too tough to grasp either. But being settled? I can't seem to find it anywhere, and I'd like to.

I want to let it take up residence on my insides. Maybe I'd be a better person...

Life is so odd sometimes - okay, make that pretty much ALL the time. I'm an "experience it!" kinda gal, so most of my adult years have been a fun mix of making life-changing decisions every year and "Yeay! Let's see what God'll do!" I've been so blessed!

But we're coming up on our 2 year anniversary of living in the States(!!!), and I'm no nearer to having roots than I was for the decade+ that I spent on the mission field.

I live in my hometown, surrounded (quite literally) by friends and family, and yet here I sit: staring at a million-and-a-half loose ends that show absolutely NO signs of tying themselves up anytime soon. Ugh!

I'm tired.

Now, I'm *still* content and happy and peaceful, but I. am. tired.

I'd like to know if a house and land will ever really happen for us.
I'd like to know what my husband should do for a living.
I'd like to know what we should be preparing for in regards to school next year.
I'd like to drive a vehicle that has an "I'll be there for ya" kind of attitude.

I'd like to be settled.


Heaven really will be grand!
