roots

Recently my wife wrote a note to a friend of ours and she included a little experience that recently happed with our son Duncan.

The kids are struggling right now to understand why we have to move, mostly Duncan. He asked me the other day as we were talking about moving, why his heart didn't tell him the same thing mine and Daddy's told us. So last night he prayed that God would tell his heart that it was time to move. WOW that was a hard and wonderful mummy moment all wrapped into one…

Someone just described what is before all of us as "Us pulling out the roots that are so bedded into where we are" and that was big for me because it feels just like that. Some are easy to pull and others feel like if we pull them, we might never get them to root again. Funny how simple things make sense to us…

This is the reality of a move away from what we have called our home these past five years. The reality of making roots.

Give us strength Lord… give us strength.
