The month has arrived. It is three weeks tomorrow from Leaving Day. There are a million and one things to do, but you know, I am totally not worried about it. There are very few times I have been able to say that in the last couple of years, but I am quite at ease with where we're at and the pace we're going... and the place we're going.
Over the last few weeks Joshua and I have had a few things come up that make staying feel "safer" and more "convenient." No matter what anyone says, there really is only so much you can do when looking for a job or apartment from 1,800 miles away, especially when you are trying to be "monetarily conservative", work full time, and finish a school semester! We are moving without for-sure jobs without a for-sure address and without even a for-sure bed (unless you count the air mattress). And really... all I can think is that there is that much more potential for adventure. It's illogical and impossible to explain unless you have been so fortunate to experience this before.
There is something so indescribably priceless about knowing you are headed exactly where you ought to be.
My heart is both elated and completely nervous. It just feels like we are headed back to where we were supposed to have started. The Lord's grace is all over this. Sometimes we make decisions in the moment and hear Him clearly and sometimes we don't. Mistakes are a part of the journey and the detour is over. It's time to get back on the road!

Love it.
You two are going to fall into so much adventure, held in His arms. So excited for you!
Jesus never knew where He would lay His head- so think about that the next time someone chastises your commitment to freedom :)
The road less traveled.........
I am so encouraged by your bravery and persistence to push pass the comfortable and take the risk. It makes me excited. You do hear Him-enjoy the journey!!!! Love and prayers go with you!!
