After all the hours wasted in the stay or go debate, it comes down to one thing. Sometimes, you have to go forward when you don't have all the answers. You have to go even when you are comfy and warm right where you are. Sometimes. Like now.
So, next Thursday, we will finish last minute packing and get the truck loaded. The kids and I will begin the trip down to FL. Russell will follow the next day. No doubt, he will go at a much faster pace without two small children. I hope to be in Orlando relatively soon after his Sat arrival. But, we'll see.
I'm beginning to have the excitement and peace we had that first evening in Celebration. I am so looking forward to not driving everywhere. I want to put many, many miles on my bike as we sing and pedal down the sidewalk, happy to be alive. Yup, I'm weird. Luckily, my children are young enough to think this is a fine and wonderful thing to do.
Each day I have received encouragement and confirmation that God will bring us through this time. I have reminded myself many times to trust in a God that has a big picture. It is not easy. Yet, I get these confirmation moments, these God-moments, when I breathe deeply and know that I am not in this alone.
Thanks be to God.
