Okay... so it has been a long time since I've written anything. Not that there hasn't been anything to say - perhaps because there has been too much to say. It has been crazy, hectic, and truly wild.
In the last three weeks, we have had 37 people stay in our small home; some for one night, some for two weeks. We painted the inside and outside of our cabin, and added a new roof. We went to our church's summer camp and endured the resulting conflicted emotions. To top it all off, three weeks ago, we were thrown a major curve ball. For the past five years, an option for our future has popped in and out of our lives. We've mulled it over, discussed it, prayed about it, and always decided - it wasn't time. Then, out of the blue, it flew back into our thoughts with the released explosion and energy of a freed volcano.
Overwhelming our thoughts, consuming our conversations, and completely throwing us off guard - our days and nights have been silently colored by thoughts of, "What if?" "Should we" "How?" "Maybe..."
Finally, after much discussion and more prayer - we feel peace. We still don't know what the future truly holds for us, but we finally feel peace to take one step forward. Whether or not this will be the beginning of a new direction, or simply a solitary step - we see the picture of our future beginning to clear... and what a beautiful, peace-filled sight; something that 37 houseguests, new roofs, hollering preachers and mosquito-filled campgrounds cannot take away.
Yes, the last three weeks have been a wild ride - but, oh... what a view.
