To Stay or Go

The answers to life’s big decisions are rarely on a billboard. Through prayer, Christians ask the Lord for obvious answers that they hope will make it easier, but sometimes God’s will is not all peaches and cream. After loyally following His will, it can be even more challenging for believers to then trust the outcome.

In a recollection of her journey through a major decision in 2005, Rose Marie Martin offers inspirational insight into her family’s dilemma whether to relocate to her husband’s dream location or remain in a cushy comfort zone that was not as perfect as it appeared. As she details their eventual move and subsequent hiccups, Rose Marie reveals an unexpected twist that upset the family for months (and years to come). Did they misinterpret God’s will, and would the damaging effects have been thwarted if they had not taken a leap of faith? The conclusion is a hindsight reflection determined nearly two decades later.
