We packed up a life we knew and drove toward mountains we had lived near once before.
Colorado was not new to us. We had lived here years ago, in a different town, in a different season of our lives. But this move brought us to an area we had never called home, in a state we thought we already understood.
People asked why we would leave what was comfortable for something unfamiliar. The honest answer is that we saw better opportunity waiting for us here. The fuller answer is that we have never needed the familiar to feel safe. We have built our lives on the belief that Yahusha is our home. He is not a zip code. He is not a house. He is not a version of comfort we can hold onto with both hands.
Avraham heard something similar once. Yahuah told him to leave his country, his people, and even his father's house for a land he had not seen yet, and he was given no map before he was given the instruction (Beresh*t 12:1). He did not receive the destination before the obedience. Neither did we.
Fear tells us that safety is found in what we already know. We have learned that safety was never in the address. It was always in whose arms we were running to.
We may not fully understand why we were called here. He does. That is enough.
If Yahusha asked you to leave something comfortable today, what would be the hardest part to let go of?
