You have written with such heart and and honesty and obvious faith (as hard as it is some time). Thank you so much for sharing. I am the father of 4 children (16 – 24) and can tell your children are blessed to have such faithful parents. There are a small group of us (30 or so now) who pray for families and invite them to pray with us, too (in their own place and time once per month). It’s a mix of individuals from across the country – fathers, mothers, Catholic school students, priests, comtemplatives (Discalced Carmelite Sisters), professors, publishers, lawyers, business persons, wealth managers, poets the full gamut….just let us know if you’d like us to pray for you and your family and whether you want to join with us in praying for families (the final friday of each month). no strings attached. God bless. Tom

I loved reading your story. It’s quite similar to my own when in 2009 we moved our family to the Middle East, leaving behind family and friends for a while different culture and way of life. It was the most fruitful and spiritual time I’ve ever experienced. It was very hard at times, no doubt, but I learned to lean into the Lord more and more as time passed. We were only there for 4 years but I thank God even today for giving us the courage to take a leap of faith so that we could learn more and Him and His Divine Will in our lives. You will grow in ways you never thought possible by being out of your comfort zone. I will be praying for you and your family during this time. Take care

Your message is timely. I’m in that situation where there’s a call to trust God but it seems all I have are questions and more Whys?
Reading your article, I’ve come to trust God and accept that which He allowed to happen and finding my mission amidst this confusion. God bless you! May you touch more hearts!

Hi Maggie, thank you for sharing your heart and faith with us in Themis beautiful article. I’d love to talk to you and Paul above moving to Texas where I was born and raised. And maybe more importantly I’d love to hear about the why and the call to move. Feel free to hit me up on FB. Would love to hear from y’all, but will be praying for your transition into the greatest state of all states

Thank you for sharing your heart, Maggie. This is beautiful, inspiring and encouraging. This line right here just hit me right where I needed to be hit this morning: “The act of trusting the Lord and surrendering to His will is not for the faint of heart.” Amen! Your family is definitely in my prayers with this transition. God is so so good.
