this present journey

“so where are you living right now?”

chris and i were asked this question on many occasions this summer.

“its complicated,” we’d say

we were living nowhere in particular, but in SO many different places

“wait, so where do you live?”

hmm, we’ll one of us could say:

Colorado, except for we were about to leave.

Wisconsin for the in between.

New Zealand, but only till March.

Austria, well, for 9 months of next year.

“it’s complicated,” we’d say

so this present journey is complicated. it’s a little awkward. it’s kinda confusing.

somedays things are a little tiring. living out of our suitcases. spending countless hours traveling. saying “goodbye’s.” booking flights. packing away so much in boxes. making the few days we have with our loved ones count.

somedays are full of joy. beautiful mountains. surprising gifts. time to relax. connecting with old friends, and making new connections. different food. landscapes like we’ve never seen before. sleeping in our old bed. dinner with our families. getting to have things to store away for later.

yes this present journey is complicated. it’s SO full. full of lots of difficult things and full of lots of unbelievably wonderful things. we’re experiencing grace after grace. we are learning to be content at ALL times.

we’re looking forward to filling in the details on the journey ahead

come back tomorrow for the roadmap and how you can pray for us and support us on our journey.
