Change.
Never easy, in my experience, but always for the better.
We had a grand adventure from July to December. Traveling together from job to job. A time of reflection also. We know we are not cut out for the ‘american dream’, 9 to 5, house/mortgage, daily routine. We have known this always. We are dreamers, explorers, and movers. We want to do not buy.
It had been hard. Dang hard. When we started moving, finally letting go of what this season ment to us, or what we thought it was suppose to be, and move in HIS direction, by faith, cause we don’t have a ‘plan’, the stupid devil hit us with one thing after another.
We have had every.single .vehicle. we own and one we were borrowing, breakdown. And that’s just the start. It has been a crazy year so far. Oh my.
So, I sold the camper. We aren’t mobile. We are selling everything off. Couches, tables, beds (don’t worry, we all still have a place to sleep), wall stuff, dressers, clothes, lamps, tools, extra appliances ( cause we all have extras of those….) – basically anything that is tying us down. Stuff. Its going. We don’t want stuff. I have a ways to go in throwing away more. Memorabilia that has been in boxes for years, some 10 or more. Gone.
We are looking toward the future. Learning from but not wasting time dwelling on the past.
We want to be servants for God. To love as He has said to do. To not be hindered by the ‘stuff’ or the lack of time because of ‘stuff’. America, we don’t need all this ‘stuff’.
Change. We don’t know what we are changing for. But we are doing it. We have the building for sale. We have our stuff for sale. We don’t have a plan. We don’t technically have an income….scary. FAITH. That is what we have. We have Hope, it’s what is anchoring our souls in HIM.
Call us crazy. I do.
It’s like the movies. We are standing at the cliff and knowing we are called to that other side. No bridge that we can see, but we take a step. My faith says, even though we can’t see it, by the time my foot needs to be on something solid, the bridge will be there. His plan, His timing. GOD NEVER FAILS.
And those are my ramblings for today. Thanks for reading.
Oh, but we are not alone… there is a movement in America. Change is coming and is happening already for alot of people.
Quotes from a book that I just read. Not before we started this prosess. But just last week (mid Feb2016).
