Traveling refreshes the ordinary and changes perspective. A “well-traveled” person knows how to get around and is resourceful with adapting to new surroundings. This traveler has a curiosity to see new views and a wisdom for integrating new experiences.

Traveling well is also navigating life’s unpredictable twists and turns with courage and tenacity. It is summoning our best when our horizons are expanded, and we do not feel prepared.

When the unexpected happens, it often extracts every ounce of our abilities – physical, mental, and spiritual. We come to the end of ourselves and lean into God in deeper ways. We seek wisdom, listen carefully, and learn to observe the grace, strength, and resilience of others and weave them into the fabric of our own lives. Our patience stretches, our character develops, and our faith grows.

Traveling well is abiding in Jesus, trusting in His faithfulness, and finding the rhythm of walking closely with Him along the unexpected path… the path that leads to peace.

Do you enjoy a good love story? Could you dare to believe God loves and pursues you that same way? Do you long for a higher purpose for living? Perhaps you have struggled with a serious illness or lost someone you love and are still trying to make sense of it ...

In a marriage filled with joy and adventure, Ted and Marilyn practiced abiding in Jesus through whatever life would bring. Together they faced life’s challenges and their faith grew deeper roots. When Ted went to be with the Lord, Marilyn captured their journey to share with all who want to live more abundantly.

If Jesus came that we may have life and have it in abundance, then why would we settle for living life apart from Him? We can find all that we need by abiding with our Loving Father—comfort, guidance, strength, grace—and even many surprises! His abundance never runs out, never falls short or

dries up, and His love never fails. Life, Love and Loss is a love story that will help the ordinary person experience the extraordinary love of God.
