Do You Have a Hiding Place?
—Grace & Truth Linkup
I’m having a thing done this week. I’m migrating my blog to a new host.
If you have a blog, you might know how scary this can feel. I’m putting all my writings in the hands of strangers. And hoping they’ll return alive on the other side.
It makes me want to run to my hiding place.
That’s why I was drawn to Laura Thomas’s post from last week’s linkup. She asks,
“Where do we go when we need to escape? To feel safe and comforted? To be appreciated, warts and all?”
For actual hiding places, I often go sit outside on the swing by the lake. For my people hiding places, I turn to Jeff or a family member or a friend.
But for the safest hiding place, I know to go to God. He’s the only one who truly can protect me down to my soul.
Laura says,
“What a sweet relief to know God is more powerful than anything this life can throw at us. We need not hide FROM Him, but we get to draw near and hide IN Him. For when we draw near to Him, He promises to draw near to us.”
Read all of Laura’s post here, then link up your own blog posts below.

I am thinking of Corrie ten Boom this morning and the hiding place that protects and carries!
Yes! Let’s remember to hid IN God always!
My hiding place is my home office or my recliner, depending on who is home at the time!
My hiding place (physically) is my home office. Spiritually, it’s under His wings!
Lisa, you are brave! I need to move my blog to a different host as well, but the thought of moving 12 years of blogposts paralyzes me!
I put off the blog migration a long time myself, Jerralea. I had the same fears as you. I finally bit the bullet and hired MaAnna at BlogAid to do it for me. I’m so pleased. She found so many security holes and things that needed to be fixed. She’s now doing a site audit for me so I’m not finished yet! It’s a very intimidating process when we’ve been blogging as long as we have. Our blogs are our babies. 🙂
