In Both Calm and Stormy Weather


We have moved 3 times in 4 years! Hard to wrap my head around it because I never would have guessed this was to be my path in life. Despite the stress that accompanies packing a bunch of boxes, loading, unloading, changing the mailing address on everything and searching for a new job, Garrett and I have found this to be true in every place we have lived: you will always find goodness and kindness. What a great discovery!

As it says in this passage from Philippians, anywhere you go, you'll always find what you need. We are so very blessed to have been given the opportunity to meet and get to know many wonderful people, because in our many transitions, that is what we have needed. Although change can be hard, what a great lesson to learn that "I can do everything through him who gives me strength." Our strength has come in the form of people reaching out and welcoming us into their community.

Change is never easy, but if you keep your eyes and heart open, you'll find the stability you need.

Prayer: Thank you God for always being with us and giving us what we need. Help us to continue to rely on you in both calm and stormy weather.

Prayer focus: change
