Finally Planted

posted by Adam Young

Well, we made it without a hitch (outside of taking an hour to get the Budget truck started the morning of the move).

I finally feel planted which is something that I have not felt in a long time. I don’t know if I can even fully tell you why. Psychologists say that the most difficult (stress causing) life experiences include: moving, changing jobs, getting married/divorced, having children and losing a loved one. Over the past two years I have changed jobs, moved three times, got married, had a child and lost a grandfather. On top of that, I have had a burning passion in me that I know was placed by God that I have suppressed for too long.

In the midst of all the change that I have experienced, I finally feel “planted.” I don’t even know if I can express it to you, but there is not a better way to say it, than I feel “planted.” I feel like I am where I am supposed to be. I feel like I am finally ready to start growing and building deeper roots. Almost, as though I have been stuck in a flower pot for so long and someone finally put me in the middle of an open field. Now, there is unlimited potential and I have all the room and nutrients I need to grow.

I forgot what this feels like. Are you ”planted?” If not… let’s change something.

    [...] I have never doubted that call and felt like I was home from day one. I felt like I was “finally planted” in the place God wanted [...]
