History Trippin' 

We're back.  I know it seems that we've fallen off the face of the earth, but we haven't.  Really.  We've just gotten wound up in the festivities of Christmas and New Years, family and friends.  We are back in Memphis, at least for now.  After being home just a few weeks I now have a women's retreat to help plan and a wedding to decorate in the next 3 weeks.  That's typical for me at home.  Busy, busy.  Funny how we revert to our normal behavior in familiar settings, even when we've determined that we want to do things differently.  I will try to get the site up to date soon, but you'll have to bear with me. 

In the meantime, we are trying to discern our next step.  Dan and I both feel that God called us away from our "normal life" to prepare us for something new...something radically different (as if living in an RV for a year isn't radical!).  This trip was a transition for us.  It was a way for us to let go of what we knew.  We stepped out of our neighborhood, away from our friends and our church and everything familiar and comfortable.  We learned to live with less and be happy, realizing that much of what we had was more of a burden than a blessing.   We learned to depend on each other and work together in a way we never had before.  Also, during the trip God birthed in us a desire to serve Him above all.  We really want to invest our lives in something that we feel has eternal value and we are prepared to leave suburbia for good in order to do it.  We have been asking God where we should go and what we should do.  We have been diligently seeking Him.  We've asked our friends to pray for us.  We've done lots of research.  So...want to know our next move?

So do we!  We're still waiting.  It's so hard for me.  I'd really like to know where we're supposed to go and what we're supposed to do.  Now.  Not to mention the fact that we need another income.  So, while I learn patience and practice trusting God, we all wait.  Let's hope I'm a quick study.
