Thank you for your sweet words, Amber. I think there was definitely some fear at the beginning of this season…almost subconscious fear. I didn’t know how to stay, so it’s definitely been a process of learning to trust in His plan. Life is good, though…and we’re blessed and thankful. Blessings to you!

I love that quote…definitely one that comes to mind often in this season. I hope you and your family are doing well.

This is such a deep, obedient “Stay.” I’ve not traveled all over, but I grew up moving around a lot, and somehow came to believe I needed to never stay in one place and let my roots go down deep. Mine was out of fear, unlike yours, but it was a huge breakthrough for me when God had me stay where I’m at and quit the fear cycle, putting roots here. I’ve been here, in Seattle, eleven years. Anyways, I love your story and your obedient heart.

Oh goodness, I LOVE this. So much truth in this “some of the greatest lessons in obedience as we learn the contentment that comes from being satisfied in Him and in where He has placed us.” I understand completely as we are on the STAY part right now, too. Isn’t it something how vast your horizons come once you travel? But the place loved the most is home. As Jim Elliot said, “Wherever you are, be all there.”
