I'm writing this from the hotel in St. Louis, MO. Outside of our window we can see a large parking lot and just across the road the St. Louis International Airport. We are headed West. In the past two days we have traversed five states and over a thousand miles. Today it's three states and our final destination.
Vickie is driving the minivan, packed with suitcases, four kids, and a cat. I'm driving the 22 foot moving van, a lugging behemoth painted an obnoxious yellow that goes from 0 to 60 in about twenty minutes. All of our earthly possessions are in this truck, mostly boxes of clothes, books, and toys and some second-hand furniture we bought at a Philadelphia thrift store. It's the kind of truck that slows to 35 miles an hour going up hill and needs to be controlled from exceeding 70 when going downhill. Quite an adventure to drive!
We have a plan for the future, but the details of it are still a little foggy. We have no place to live and job prospects, although hopeful, are uncertain at best. We know in our hearts that we are walking under God's direction. How exactly He is going to provide, however, remains yet to be seen. This has truly become a walk of faith.
I better go. The kids are up and we need to pack the vehicles for today's journey. I'll keep you posted!
Wow that sounds a lot like the u-haul we got when we moved from Philadelphia to Lincoln NE just under 9 years ago. 0 to 60 in 20 min as long as the end of the 20 min was on a downhill. It broke down in Indiana & had to be towed to a shop where they replaced the fuel filter. That helped but it still lacked power. I hope G'd blesses you in your new home.
