Remember that song "Life is a Highway?" It goes something like this, "Life is a highway....I wanna ride it all night long." These days life is more like this...
Have you ever been on the Texas Giant? Oh my lands, it is such a rush. You look up and think there is no way I can ride this and end up alive but somehow you muster up the strength to get in the long, ever so long line. After waiting for hours you get in and buckle up (figuratively). The first part is really bumpy with lots of jerks...it is a steep incline but you see the people lining up to ride and hope that it worth the jostling pain, anxiety of viewing the entire town from your little seat with an even smaller metal safety bar. Insert our lives here!!
We are on the crazy roller coaster ride with God right now! I am so anxious to see the view from the flip side and enjoy the rush coming down the coaster but right now we are in the painful, jostling stage. So many of you have been sweet to ask where we are in the moving process, and in all fairness this move is so minor in comparison to other trials, but it is a faith walk none the less.
So hear we sit...among a ridiculous amount of boxes and wrapping paper. All our worldly goods will be housed in cardboard boxes....see the irony? Friends, we are making our third attempt at an offer on a home today (yes still homeless and supposed to move out on the 24th of June), our potential buyers may or may not back out this week, and all this packing could have to be unpacked and put back away in this home or be stored for who knows how long in storage. I am packing up our "vacation" bags to go and house sit for the month of July. We call it vacation because by golly it's gonna be fun! Life is just about to get really interesting so I am placing the full armour of God on and relying on HIM to direct us and lead through Craig. Who knows if we will end up with land, a permanent home, or chickens, but we are walking with Christ and although I may be crazy at times I know I am obeying the one who orchestrates it all...
Until then....Giant, you got nothing on the Hindes family........
