HOW WE GET THERE

It’s very inspiring and humbling for me when someone sends a picture of themselves wearing their Timber of Faith hat while out and about.

Recently, a lifelong family friend, Desi, sent a picture of her husband wearing their hat in Springfield, Missouri. Desi grew up in the upper Midwest. We spent a lot of time together in our youth because our parents were best friends, which gave us the opportunity to become friends. I think it’s safe to say, Desi never pictured herself living in Springfield, MO.

Over the years Desi has lived on the west coast on two separate occasions. During the second occasion, she met her husband, Jake, whom has been an incredible blessing in her life (pretty sure she never pictured that happening either). Their path seemed to be heading exactly where they wanted when all of the sudden, like for many of us, the path changed. The thing I admire most about their situation is they used that opportunity to become closer to God, which inadvertently brings them closer together. Even though they’re still on course for their life together, the steps taken may not be ones they planned.
 
A happy model
Proverbs 16:9 In the hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.
