I told you I would just post this without reading it, but I lied. However I'm not going to edit it, some of this is a repeat of the post I just published.... And I think that is funny. So here ya go:
I have been counseling myself lately, trying to figure out why I don't just write. It's not hard for me, necessarily, and though I have struggled with computer issues, I can "type" on a phone just fine... So that's a lame excuse. I think I have figured it out. I am kind of afraid of writing about future "plans" because our plans get changed so often, and I don't want to look silly. I don't want unbelievers to read this and think I'm just (more) crazy because I follow God by "hearing" him and seeing signs that only really make sense to us.
I need to stop worrying what other people think. I'm not in elementary school anymore, and I have forgiven the people who hurt me during my school years. God wants to use our story, our experiences, good and bad, our crazy.
All that being said, I guess I need to start right in the middle, because I'm not sure where it began.
Before we started this on the road adventure on July 30th, Joey had a talk with God. He remembered a story in the bible about when a man wanted signs from God, so with that in mind, Joey came upon the idea of gas prices. He felt like God was saying that when gas is $1.99, that is our sign to "hit the road". The week before we started our trip, gas got down to $1.89, almost like God was showing off a bit. We visited NC for a week and moved on to Kansas. We have been in Kansas for 2 full months now, and very soon after we got here, gas prices started going up. They have stayed above $2.09 for the last two months. Then in the last 2 weeks, gas dropped down again, to $1.99. First at Sam's Club in Overland Park, and the gas station in Pomona where we are parked. God made it very clear to us that it is time to move again. We have decided to head to Las Vegas. We have talked about living there since the beginning of our relationship, and it's a good place for Joey to make money... Oh, and the weather isn't so bad for the winter either.
I am pretty nervous about being so far from home, and for the first time since we started living in an RV, we will be staying at a camp ground, instead of friend's houses, which means laundromat's and not having an extra house to spend time in. But. I'm also very excited to explore the area like we have in Kansas. Going to all the parks, libraries, museums and such in a new city again will be a lot of fun. I think that the area surrounding Vegas is so beautiful, and it doesn't rain almost at all, so blue and beautiful skies everyday will be nice for the winter.
I have already found a homeschool group there, thanks to Facebook, and I will be looking for a MOPS group as soon as I can. I am really missing all my sisters in Christ who are living the dream like I am.
