Ok. We Got It Out Of Our System. Can We Go Back Now?

I'm sure the title of this blog could make some our family quite uneasy. And I apologize for that. I also understand. They just got us back and everyone has fallen in love with Elliot. They are accustomed to us being around already. So, relax. No plans to move back to California. No plans for anything yet, in fact.

This is the problem. We are in the "in-between." It's a simple place. It's designed to make the waiting period as comfortable as possible. However, my husband and I are not big "wait-ers." We are used to the passionate road to "dreams come true" and the land of "endless possibilities." We eat vision for breakfast and invite purpose into bed with us. We are THAT comfortable with it. I'm not going to say this is Jesus teaching us a lesson because well, it sounds too much like those old-school catholic nuns I've heard about. The ones who would say "See? I told you not to go near that cliff? I was right, huh?" The problem is that you will die if you fall off of a cliff and I know God knows that we will die without vision for much longer. I think this is less about a lesson and more about an opportunity.

In the mean time, I want to pack our bags. Sell even more stuff and hit the road and drive, drive, drive, and hug some friends. It's funny because I feel as if not many people understand the depth of the relationships we made. i'm sure people think we are "back", but our hearts are still back in Santa Cruz. Translocating hearts, of course.

So, about the opportunity. I don't think our frustration or impatience means that God can't tell us our plan until we "learn how awful we are being." No, in fact, I think He has given us this desire so that we will not forget our dreams. We were made to be a little restless- not out of any lack, but instead because we have so much to share. So much happiness to spread! So much whack to pass on. ;)
