We took a trek yesterday...off the beaten trail. We made our way up winding roads,
through narrow passes, over rickety bridges, and landed ourselves on what I would call "potential".

We're exploring God's will for our family's next chapter and we're feeling the press toward movement,
but this isn't a new sense for us. In fact, it's been quite the long time we've had desires for a different
existence, though clearly right where we are is where God has us...for now.

We're the type that will make the best of whatever situation we find ourselves in. That may even be our specialty.
We enjoy "making it work" and we're uncommonly flexible. Perhaps those will be the very catalysts to finding our next adventure??

We never want to get too comfortable. We never want to think we've found our "it" for the rest of our lives on earth because we always want to remain open and willing to God's will for our lives...wherever He should lead us. It's eternity that we long for in reality,
a heavenly home. Still, we explore and wonder, remain ready for opportunities that arise.

God has planted seedling ideas, cards are on the table, inspiration's in the air. We're deeply prayerful, expectant yet sincerely content, and longing for eternity all the more. Still, it was fun yesterday to take our little "what if" journey up and through and over there yonder...
...off the beaten trail.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil,
to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me,
and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart."

"Yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life?
For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.
Instead you ought to say, 'If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.'”
