Hello brothers and sisters;
Many of you have shared the many places you have moved to since growing up in your hometown.
I have personally reflected on this most of 2025. We had the opportunities relocate but didn't give much thought about it growing up as a military dependent. To be honest it wasn't always fun being the new kid in class.
In the last 3 years we have been blessed to travel but it always feels good when arriving home. Feeling good when arriving back home may be a reason. My question is, is feeling good about arriving home mean we have finally settled in our later years? Is there a chance we may move out of California?
My other question for all of us is, is / was our adulthood part of God's Plan to relocate with our own families because of our careers, military service, ministry, etc...?
In the Old Testaments Abram, Jacob, Moses, Naomi and Ruth relocated. For some they relocated as children. Jeremiah and Ezekiel relocated under oppression or exiled but they were specific prophets with specific instructions from God.
In the New Testaments Jesus relocated to Egypt as an infant but traveled throughout Israel during His mission. The twelve Apostles were scattered and relocated in different provinces while spreading the Gospel.
We may not think about it. Does God place us in the similar places in our lives, and if so, have you pondered why and what was the results that may impact your life today? For what purpose?
I'd like to hear your thoughts and will share more of mine and it's impact in this topic.
God bless everyone.
Bob
