“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by. And that has made all the difference.”
Robert Frost’s poem The Road Not Taken has been debated since being published in 1915. Was Frost advocating following unusual paths, literal and figurative? Or did he express regret for having missed the other choice? Frost himself–perhaps recognizing the value of controversy–never clarified.
Regardless, Kit and I are about to take a “less traveled” path–one made more uncertain by an unknown destination. My nature relishes setting out on an unpredictable journey. Fortunately, I married Kit who has a high tolerance for uncertain adventure. This quality has helped us be effective in ministry around the world.
Our house sells on Thursday. Then we’ll set out homeless during a pandemic. You won’t find a much “less traveled” path than that. We may not be able to blog regularly for several months. Please continue to follow us, though, and with us see what happens. Whatever our journey entails will certainly qualify for, “And that has made all the difference.”
You can always reach us through our website where this blog is posted.
In Our Lord,
Drew
Wow! Keep walking by faith! Trusting the Lord to guide you step by step!

Dear Kit and Drew, If I remember correctly you’re moving to Sequim, Washington. I retired on January 2 of this year. My house in Seattle just sold on April 20 and I am moving to Marina del Rey, California and living with my youngest sister. Right now I am with my oldest sister in Oregon for a couple of weeks and then will head south to LA. I’ll send you my new address soon. Praying for safe travels and a wonderful new adventure. God bless and all my love. Linda Jacobs

I can’t believe that you are leaving Seattle just when we are coming to the area. Maybe you will come back for a visit sometime and can come see us on the Olympic Peninsula. My younger sister used to live by LA. in Manhattan Beach but now she is in N. Ca. close to San Francisco. Love U

You’ll always have a home wherever we are. Come down to Texas if you get too soggy up there!

Wow, Kit and Drew! I knew you were moving, but I didn’t know you had no pre-determined destination. You are much more bold and courageous than I would be! May the Lord go before you, provide for you, bless you, and protect you from all harm.

We do actually have a destination in mind, the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, Unfortunately COVID has complicated our timing of when to go there and start looking for a new home. Pray we will clearly see the steps the Lord wants us to take.
