Flying E

MORNING THOUGHTS ☕️

8/8 … a marked day for us on this journey called life. We were living the dream. Close to family. Settled in our community. Had remodeled a little horse farm and thought we’d live there forever.

Then God disrupted ALL our plans.

A three day encounter changed everything.

It was 2008. The middle of a real estate slump and recession. And yet…God said list the house.

“Hey God. We can’t move. We’re in the middle of a recession. Houses aren’t selling. This price range isn’t moving.”

God: “List the house. List it for $888,000.”

And so. We did.

And TWO WEEKS later, on 8/8/8, we got an offer for $888,000.

It rocked our world.

We were off on the next adventure. Leaving EVERYTHING and EVERYONE we loved. Exciting? Yes. Uncomfortable? For sure.

I sat behind one of those pine trees the day the movers came and bawled my eyes out. I mean…BAWLED. And questioned. Are you sure, God?!? Did I really hear you, God?!?

And guess what?! I may bawl my eyes out again. But if there’s one thing this experience taught us 18 years ago, it’s to go if he says go…to stay if he says stay.

His ways are higher. Better. Sure.

Our little farm that we sold was named “Runaway Farm”. When I drove by it a few years after we moved, I was shocked to see that the new owners had named it “Flying E.” It felt like a wink from Him to me.

Let’s keep flying. And trusting. And relying on the One who sees the whole picture. Life is certainly an adventure with God and not boring for sure.

Oh! And P.S. … the place we are now headed is BACK to this place that we left in 2008. Maybe we went from Runaway to Flying to Full Circle. :)

Trust God. Go when he says go.
