Alaskan Calibration

I'D FOUND THE STABILITY OF PEACE

THEN MY FAITH WAS CHALLENGED BY THE ENMITY OF CHANGE

I met Roy at fourteen and with the toss of a coin that summer night, I dialed in the love of my life. We wasted years until we found the answer to our hearts' longing in Jesus.

On the evening of our baptism, Roy suggested our family of four venture on his dream vacation to Alaska. Although reluctant to traverse the country, I was determined to enjoy the much needed family time.

When an invitation to work at an iconic Alaskan roadhouse forced the trajectory of our summer in an unexpected direction, my tight grip on our familiar Michigan life started to slip.

Will this quest for an Alaskan adventure be worth the sacrifice for us all?

Will my new faith in Christ withstand the storms of change and awaken the transformation I didn't know I needed or will I crumble under the leaden weight of my husband's dreams?
