The journey not the destination

Well hello again,
As our short yet warm (despite degrees in the single digits) stay in Bend closes for now, we look forward to the processing ahead. We head next to Roseburg. We arrived last night and here and are staying with our friends Sam and Sarah. It was at this place one month ago we knew and felt the tug we reconize as the soverign God calling us to trust Him and venture back to Oregon. We are not making it up that there is a God who cares, provides, and is holding us at this very moment. We are learning more about this life and what it is we want.

It is great to see and spend time with our friends here. It is yet another beautiful place in the world!! It is a beautiful life. We have been given a beautiful love for one another. It is a beautiful love the Father has for us. It is beautiful. How blessed are we? more than we know. Knowing this we desire to know our why. If we dont seek, we will never find. That would be a tragedy.

"you must put aside your selfish ambition, shoulder your cross, and follow me. If you try to keep your life for yourself, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will find true life. And how do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul* in the process? Is anything worth more than your soul?"
Mark 8:34-37

I love your line "If we dont seek, we will never find. That would be a tragedy." It's so true for this adventure of yours. Keep on seeking until you've found your place in this world, even if it's not forever (cause that's a long time) and who knows what other adventures you will go on.

Love you both. Mom
