so i think we are buying a house. (fingers crossed) It is weird because i have never aspired to home owning, give me a tent or a box i'm fine. simplicity, and love right. and well i see things differently now. i still don't think home owning is like some kind of mountain peak or anything, but definitely full of character building lessons, like stewardship, etc. not to mention that if i lived in a box with my husband and three kids, someone would probably call social services. and if i want to adopt kids or do some kind of foster care thing, and a social worker came to see my house, well, lets just say that i might not get the job.

and being "tied down" has always been a little scary for me. and that is something you may imagine coming with home owning. well, i am thinking different about that too. I am starting to see that to grow strong, or build solid, you have to let your roots grow. being uprooted all the time is hard for a plant, and equally hard for a human. and the power of covenant, and sacrificial love. that's what you can build on. I am sure that we will be traveling at some point in time. it is just in us. but i know this way that it won't be without foundation and purpose.


so here we go.........wheeeeeeeeeeee.
