"Every time we've gone somewhere, it's just been better and better and God's always blessed us for following"
About this Quote
There’s a particular kind of confidence that comes from framing your life as a guided tour rather than a messy series of bets. Stacie Orrico’s line turns movement itself into proof: each “somewhere” is not just a new city or career step, but evidence that the decision to go was correct, because the results keep getting “better and better.” It’s escalation-as-testimony, the language of a young artist narrating momentum as meaning.
The intent is plainly devotional, but the phrasing does a lot of cultural work. “God’s always blessed us for following” implies a call-and-response relationship with faith: we obey, God rewards. That’s emotionally soothing for anyone living through uncertainty, and it fits the early-2000s pop/Christian crossover moment where success could be spoken about without sounding crass, because it’s rebranded as favor. The “we” matters, too. It distributes the risk across a community - family, team, church - so ambition doesn’t read as ego; it reads as collective obedience.
The subtext is the delicate negotiation artists often make when their careers take off: how to accept ascent without owning it too loudly. By crediting God for the upward curve, Orrico keeps humility intact while still making a claim about directionality. If things are “better and better,” then doubt becomes not just fear but a spiritual misread.
It’s also a subtle prosperity logic in miniature: the road opens because you stepped onto it. The comfort and the danger are the same - success becomes a moral signal, and setbacks, by implication, can start to feel like a spiritual verdict.
