Answering the Call: Jessica Sowards' Journey to Roots and Refuge Farm
I think that there is a tension between two truths and how we're supposed to handle ourselves when we are being led and also being responsible. But I can see the most pivotal points of our journey always came on the back end of a surrender of a thing where we were like we can't do this, like we can't figure this out, we can't make this work, and that we just kind of opened our hands and said: okay, like you're in it or you're not, and like I'm in it.
