Well, we have made 147 days living in our rv. It has been an adventure! It has also been trying, stretching, draining, training, character building, and exhausting.
But enough about me...
We have experienced -23 degrees, the roller coaster of Samuel's health and many doctor's appointments, Skip trying to fix broken water pipes during said -23 temperatures, the death of Skip's mom, electricity issues, the disappointment of having to change our house plans, the blessing of having to change our house plans, mold, water pump failure, Legoland, leaks, and now Disneyland!
Talk about roller coasters!
We have grown as a family, each of our sins and faults magnified in such a small space. We have cried, yelled, laughed, hugged and loved. This road to righteousness is certainly bumpy and difficult but the journey is what makes the destination so dear. Each mile we go and trial we face, we are growing in His righteousness. I know I could never do this without my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who followed His own adventurous, trial-filled road. How do I compare His pain to mine? The road He followed was for me and you, your family and mine. He is asking each of us to follow our own road the best we can, glorifying Him with our attitudes and actions. He is enough for whatever turns up around the bend, knowing what we will encounter next and providing the right fuel for the situation. Maybe it's patience, perseverance, forgiveness, unconditional love, compassion, joy or peace.
Wherever your road is taking you, trust in Him. And remember to buckle up.
