When we tell people that we sold our house and are traveling, we often hear, “I’m jealous!” Well, the reality of living in a 60 square foot travel trailer isn’t as glamorous as it sounds. The truck and trailer get messy. Belongings become cluttered. Things get muddy. Bugs are constant companions. High humidity and pollen are impossible to escape. Campground bathrooms and showers range in cleanliness from a Mr. Clean commercial sparkling clean to an old convenience store ‘pee-key required’ dirty. Frustration happens. However, in spite of these inconveniences, we are enjoying our life on the road. While we could return to the KC area and rent an apartment anytime, we aren’t ready to quit yet. We feel God’s peace that we are supposed to be on this journey. We aren’t sure yet what He is teaching us or how He is using us to impact others, but we know He has set this season in motion. So until we find land and start the home building process, we are, for the most part, happily Chasing Sonshine.
Lesson Learned: One of our past daily Bible readings included this passage: You shall not build a house; you shall not sow seed; you shall not plant or have a vineyard; but you shall live in tents all your days, that you may live many days in the land where you sojourn. Jeremiah 35:7. HMM….Are we being led into exile and an extended time of wandering??!!!! In the meantime, we will wait upon the Lord!
