Tomorrow we trade sleeping on the floor- the awkward bed of transition, for a chair, the bed of choice while flying the red eye. We bought our tickets and will be heading to France. Bags are being repacked through caffeine induced energy. All our natural energy has been left cleaning bathrooms and getting rid of the last of our precious to us- stuff.
We are leaving with 5 bags that contain all our earthly goods (other than the goods we have left in other people's homes). I can't tell you how GREAt it feels. Lighter. Less attached. Funny thing is, I know the minute we get off the plane and have to carry, pull, and finally sit on these priceless posessions out of exaustion, they too might be left behind. Thoughtful packing of all the things we need might go quickly out the window in favor of- How the heck can i make this thing lighter.....It's not going to rain today is it?
We will let you know how it goes.....from France.
A world adventure with kids? Why not? For the first time in a long time we have no greater obligations than our family. Our kids can be carried, changed on the grass, happy with a stick as a toy, so we are selling our house, free ourselves of clutter and OFF WE GO!
The plan? To learn what it means to be on an adventure with God. Sharing ideas on helping people launch their own adventure and hopefully in some way using our skills to bring justice and mercy to those in need.
