Off the Grid in the Montana Rockies

Support

 

I have been truly blessed with the support I have been receiving.  Comments, cards, emails, notes.  Each and everyone have meant something special to me.  Your prayers are carrying us.  Stories of been there and done that.

And we wait.  Wait on God, really.  There is only so much we can do.  And we are doing it.  Our days are taking on a new shape, a new routine.  We are staying up late and sleeping in.  Bookwork is finding a routine where both mom and dad pitch in. More time is being spent online job searching, printing off resumes, sending emails.

Nothing at all has materialized in the way of a local job.  Nothing.  The mortgage company, so overloaded with people missing payments gave us a 90-day forbearance.  No payment, no penalties, no dings.  A wait and see.  So that is nice.  Still, the reality is upon us that more likely than not we will be moving again.  It is good that we are going through that process now...especially for the kids.

So we live.  We are still in Montana and loving it here.  A moose and her calf have been hanging out in the yard for the last couple of days...I am cherishing that.  The way the sky stretches on forever.  The snow covered mountains.  The feeling of wide open space that for the moment is all mine.  Burning the images in my mind's eye.

God and I have settled the score.  I am okay with what He has.  Instead of saying God these are my hopes and my dreams...I am saying God, my hopes and my dreams are whatever you have for me right now.  I am choosing to be okay with it-all of it.  It is a much better place to be than in fear, despair, to worry.  And you know I truly, really am just fine.

So, again, thank you.  For every prayer, every email, every note.  Thankfully, relationships are something that I won't have to leave behind.  They go with you.

"Courage isn't an absence of fear. It's doing what you are afraid to do. It's having the power to let go of the familiar and forge ahead into new territory."
~John Maxwell
We are all being called upon for an awful lot of courage aren't we :)
Hang in there.
