Strong roots and movable tents

Packing up our lives every few years. Crossing oceans and borders.  Figuring out friendships and fellowships and schools. 

Navigating the spiritual landscapes that we land in. 

How do we pray for our children in this cross-cultural life? Specifically and strategically?

Along the way I see the need for strong roots and movable tents. Stability and flexibility.

Habit

The habit takes me to the necessary. Wherever we are and whatever state of settled or unsettled we may be in. 

Through the scattered parts of transition or life in general, it’s a habit that orders my day.  Puts priority in its proper place.

This habit, shaped and established over the years, has shaped and established me. It is daily focused time with the Lord. A discipline that keeps me abiding in Christ through prayer and the Word.

The morning views have varied through the years. This was one of my favorites.

Trust Me

In the midst of the move, fears slip in. Without permission. A thin thread of doubt weaves its way through my mind. Second guesses undermine trust.

Trust in the One who leads us.

“Be sober-minded, be alert,” Peter says (1 Peter 5:8). Somedays I’m catching my breath and need this reminder. Front and center.
