People ask if our reason for travel is to check things off of a bucket list?
Or maybe wanderlust?
To be honest, when we experience a new city, we see a new side of God.
We revel in the ingenuity of his creation and how colorful his people are.

So far, Indonesia has been incredible in beauty but also because we
are with some of our closest friends so we’ve had the added
aspect of deep community & intimate conversation.
Even though it’s been a crazy four weeks on four continents,
today we feel 100% thankful and refueled by His community and creation.
Thank you God for letting us see your majesty and giving us a day of joy & rest!

Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this?
In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind.”
Job 12:7-10

Hey — I wrote a book about all of this.
Living Open-Handed is the devotional I wrote during a season when I really needed to hear these words myself. If you're in a place where you need to be encouraged by scripture and softened by grace, it might be for you too.
