It has been a roller coaster ride of emotions and plans over the past few weeks. We have been entertaining and accepting offers on our first house, only to have them fall through. We are convicted and tested; our goals and ideas changed. Still we have held on. Trusting.
Sunday we leaped. We drove the two hours to our former home and sealed a deal – for now. Then we went mushroom hunting. It was a good farewell to all that we left behind, and a step forward toward our longed-for homestead in the country. Someday. Meanwhile we trust, do our part, and eat mushrooms.
“There are times in spiritual life when there is confusion, and it is no way out to say that there ought not to be confusion. It is not a question of right and wrong, but a question of God taking you by a way which in the meantime you do not understand, and it is only by going through the confusion that you will get at what God wants.”
:: Oswald Chambers

Yeah, I know nothing about country living, but certainly find myself longing for it. Happy you’re finding temporary conclusions, and moving forward. Keep on keepin’ on! Oh, and I hate mushrooms but your pictures make them look beautiful 🙂
I have to admit, I am not a big fan of eating mushrooms. I just like hunting for them and Brian eats them. Although, I did try one of the boletes this time and it wasn’t bad.
