Being in ministry, God has often said "Stay" when I was champing at the bit to go somewhere, anywhere else but where I was. <BR/><BR/>I'm not sure how I would react if God said, "bo back" to any of the difficult places in my life, whether emotional places or real physical places. It would be difficult. But as my trust grows, I begin to think I could go back if He asked me toBonnie Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00348002062378879350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24663526.post-65685227850487527332008-09-16T13:23:00.000-05:002008-09-16T13:23:00.000-05:00Have you ever read Hind's Feet in High Places?

I adopted my husband's hometown as my own. I convinced my parents to move here. Yet, when I think of going back to some of the places the Lord took us, I get a bit wistful.

It will be interesting if He does ask you to "go back." <BR/><BR/>The neat thing is you really can't just go back. People have moved on, life has moved on.
