We often get so caught up thinking about where we’d rather be and what we’d rather be doing, that we forget all the places God has already been with us. But there is a way we we can experience God’s presence wherever we are, wherever we go. Jacob’s story reminds us that the biggest obstacle to a fulfilling life is us!
