Moving On

God moves in ways of mystery. If you would have asked me one week ago if my family would have any intention of moving back to Alaska, I would have given you a resounding "NO" and would have spoken for my wife with an even louder "NO". Due to a variety of circumstances, we are feeling very led to head back home to Alaska. I do not think that we would feel this way if we had not had so many trials which turned into opportunities for God to bless us during this year. We have had to rely on our faith, and rely on each other, as we have been very isolated here in Phoenix. It is taking on the feeling of a joyful homecoming, the thought of heading back to Alaska. God still has to point me in the right direction as far as employment, but I have had to rely on Him in much more stressful times, when much more was on the line, so I know he is there for us now. Although God moves in mysterious ways, there is no mystery surrounding how we are to move. Surrender, submit, and press on toward the prize. This is what my family will do as we return home.
