Old Stomping Grounds

This morning, I ran down through campus and then back around on the Burke Gilman trail to our house for a short run. As I was going on this route, I realized I probably could do this blindfolded as it is my go-to route and is often included as the beginning of other routes too. Red Square here on UW campus has been the spot where we had Anna's unicycle birthday party along with the Harry Potter birthday party too.  I've chosen this route for so many walks with friends through UW campus as the views of Rainier from this spot are pretty spectacular on a clear day. There are so many good memories here.

It made me think about what your old stomping grounds are there in Missoula, and I simply gave thanks for places there that you know so well like the M, the Big Dipper, Splash Montana, DQ, fishing holes, bike trails, 333 Agnes, Flying Squirrel, hikes, and Glacier just to scratch the surface.

I don't know where God will lead you as you head off on your own one day, but my prayer is that you will establish roots somewhere so that you have some old stomping grounds somewhere one day that you can call home. Praying for wherever that spot is and for God to prepare the way...
