Living in Helena, Montana was fun, but quitting our jobs, travelling for a few months, and relocating without a clue of what was next seemed like a lot more fun.
I am a planner. Through and through. I love the organization of bullet points, the satisfaction of checking things off a to-do list, and the smell of a new planner. I thrive off of order and routine and the expected. As I am writing this, my husband looks over my shoulder and says
"Yeah that sounds about right."
So naturally, a week ago, we quit our jobs, packed our stuff up, and moved into my parents house knowing that the next few months were full of the unknown.
Boxing with God
I have a relationship with God that looks a lot like me stepping into a boxing ring, getting my butt kicked (gently), and then following what God had originally told me to do. I don't know why i have to put up such a fight every time, but I do. So when I heard God clearly tell me that my husband, Jon, and I needed to move back to the Treasure Valley in Idaho, I grabbed my boxing gloves. I didn't want to move and I didn't want to move there.
Unfortunately, God had also been letting Jon know that we were supposed to be going that way. With both of us hearing clear instructions, we knew that He wasn't messing around. So we started planning. Here's the thing though. God had not specifically told us when we needed to move. We know that He wanted a timely manner,but he did not give us any specifics.
"So when I heard God clearly tell me that my husband, Jon, and I needed to move back to the Treasure Valley in Idaho, I grabbed my boxing gloves."
This means that we decided to make a trip out of it. We bought some airplane tickets to get us to Thailand for a month, made some plans to visit family, and created a pacific northwest bucket list.
The Great Unknown
So here we go. Not sure where this adventure is going to take us or how we are going to land when we are done, but we are excited to see all that God has in store for us while we travel.
