So Good and True about our God being more interested in our Holiness! I realized that I don't live too far from your home in Owosso. I live in a small town west of you guys in Dewitt, Mi. I've been to Owosso many times. I will start to pray that you will completely settle in in this new place where God has brought you. Thank you for your thoughts. Kathy Stanaway Hi Gypsy Momma,

I just read your story! So Good and True about our God being more interested in our Holiness! I realized that I don’t live too far from your home in Owosso. I live in a small town west of you guys in Dewitt, Mi. I’ve been to Owosso many times. I will start to pray that you will completely settle in in this new place where God has brought you. Thank you for your thoughts.

Kathy Stanaway

Part of you dies when taken off the land, but it can be given new life in Christ's plan. I feel your pain and your joy. Ten years ago I left the land and the lake (Michigan also) for the desert.

And yes, I am. It's actually been a great exercise just writing it all out. Did you get to part 4? Therein lies the closure and a glimpse of the bigger picture that the Lord showed us.

Up near Traverse City - my aunt has a cottage there and it was one of our favorite summer vacations. But, the house we lived in was in Owosso, MI. Small town - I fell head over heels in love with! And you are so right, I hear the "heart of God and the universe thumping away" in wide open spaces more than anywhere else. Thanks for stopping by. Send love to big, old Michigan for me!

I think in the quietness, in the vast stillness and open landscapes, it is easier to hear the heart of God and the universe thumping away. A beautiful, holy thing indeed. you must be on Lake Michigan….we live along the lake too, in the north– and I know of its healing, restorative powers.

It is great to know someone else who God said "no" to in order to give them something different, a different kind of better. Keep hanging onto Him as He continues to develop your character - more like Himself. Thanks for sharing your journey.

Thank you for sharing them. You are so right about how hard it is to voluntarily give up the things we love or want or crave for the God we are supposed to emulate. What a wonderful example you share. Wow – great insights, Tammy. Thank you for sharing them.
