Living In-Between

We have arrived in Oregon and have settled in as well as we can. We just returned from a trip to Napa for the kids to participate in the Bible Quiz tournament at our church. Then we will return to California again in June for them to go to the State Finals. In the in-between, we are staying in our travel trailer at Phil's parents house. We will start searching for a house after our major travels are over. But, the kids are as happy as can be here...their cousins are next door to them. Phil and I feel like we are on a big vacation...ha ha...this is no vacation friends!

I have decided to call our current living situation the "in between". The in between of what we thought was going to be our life for many, many years (living in Napa, Phil managing a Les Schwab store, and raising our kids) and the life we will try to make for ourselves now that what we thought would be is no more.

Yes, there are moments of sadness and moments of anger and then moments of awe and then moments of just moments...with no thought or feeling at all. It is hard to live numb and I refuse to become hateful and bitter. I refuse to believe this point in our lives will destroy us. I choose to believe God has a bigger plan for us that we do not see yet. I choose to believe the God has our best interests in mind. I choose to believe this future path will be better for us than the path "we" thought was best for us.

"There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the Lord" Proverbs 21:30

I truly believe God has all things worked out for us....but for now we will live in between.
