My Search for Consistancy and Stability

Since the day I became an adult at the age of 17 I have been searching for consistency and stability. Failing miserably over the years I hope to someday reach my goal to get back to where I consider my home. I was born in Oregon, Ohio and was brought home to the East side of Toledo. I am not sure how long I lived there but if I recall we then moved to Oregon, Ohio and then to Anna Maria Island, Florida. I was approximately five when we moved to Florida and those are my first memories of what I consider my home. Anna Maria island, Florida is where I want to be. We ended up moving to Millbury, Ohio to live while we fixed up a house in Elmore, Ohio. That is where I lived until I was 17. That is when I became an "adult" and ended up moving out. I then proceeded to move many times over the years due to life choices and circumstances that were sometimes beyond my control:
Napolian,Ohio,
Perrysburg, Ohio
Maumee, Ohio
Elmore, Ohio
Oak Harbor, Ohio
Northwood, Ohio
Oregon, Ohio
Curtice, Ohio
Elmore, Ohio
Elmore, Ohio
Elmore, Ohio
Elmore, Ohio
Woodville, Ohio
Oak Harbor, Ohio
Cocoa, Florida
Woodville, Ohio
Elmore, Ohio
Elmore, Ohio
Oak Harbor, Ohio
Northwood, Ohio
Lexington, Kentucky
Northwood, Ohio
East Toledo, Ohio
In the 24 years that I have been an adult I have moved 23 times. That equals to me moving on average once every year. I pray that I can stay where I am for now until I can afford to move back "home" to Anna Maria Island. I have come full circle back to the East side of Toledo in which I was first brought home. Actually, I only live one block away from the house I was brought to on Nevada Street. I must say that I am so tired, so very tired of moving. My goal is to stay where I live currently to save money to move back home where I plan to stay, where my dream of consistency and stability will happen. It is where I want to be...where I want to stay. I do not know how long it will take or how it will happen. It is all up to the Lord. God may your will be done. I will be still and wait.
