The start

For quite a long time my family has had a desire to travel, in fact in one year we traveled from Iowa to texas three separate times. We had desired an rv but hadn't been able to find one that met our needs both physically and financially. When God supplied the rv at the price we could afford and with the perfect layout we felt like we were on cloud nine. But then the realization set in that to use this gas guzzler for anything more than a weekend trip over to the closest campsite would be almost impossible with our current financial goals and income. I specifically remember the end of a conversation we had about wondering if God was calling us to travel either full time or part time and my beautiful bride( henceforth referred to as BB) said to me "The only way I would even consider traveling is if for some reason you couldn't do your job anymore." Now I should clarify that I am self employed in a profession that although not requiring one to be in prime shape it does require you to lift and carry items weighing upwards of 50 pounds. "If for some reason you couldn't do your job anymore" Looking back I wish that little sentence had been worded differently. Like, The only way I will travel is if God tells us to and confirms it with a sign or something along those lines. But if you hadn't guessed no more than a couple of weeks after this comment I hurt my shoulder bad enough that I couldn't work anymore and required me to hire someone else to do it. God had our attention! Until next time may God's love become tangible and overwhelm you.
