A table...
A lamp...
A couch...
And
A map on the wall
Bare bones living at its best. Shoot, even the queen size blow up mattress is serving as a couch in the TV room. So here I go...from collector of all things to nomad in a day. So to speak... I have a month.
My love for travel and adventure have taken over and I'm kinda along for the ride. We leave for our yearlong gypsy excursion in mere moments to find our next home and I'm knee deep in, we'll, blessings, I guess you could say.
The Deets:
We found a physical address service where they will receive, open, scan, email, shred and/or forward any and all of our mail. Not only that we'll have a Laguna Beach address:) as if God is decorating my life each step of the way.
Looks like the cats have found a new home.....major stress relief there.
The boys have endured a mock packing day with flying colors. I'm still in the process of mine...mainly fighting denial that I can't take all the shoes I've so carefully collected. Plus the scarves, hats, office supplies, and mostly just clothes in general. I think I'm allowing myself 3 suitcases but I can't figure out how to pack it up. Fall clothes are already packed in an under the bed storage bin I pray fits into the rover.
That brings me to my next update... as of now it looks like we'll be driving off in our Land Rover and shipping our Volvo back to Texas to sell there. We do not have an RV yet but I'm leaving it in God's hands. I have come to grips with the possibility that it's not meant to be just yet...I'm totally ok with whatever He wants for us cause I know it's His best.
My faith is certainly being stretched in this process.
Leaving stuff, friends, grandpa, and yes, normalcy behind as we embark isn't as easy as it may sound. Four weeks seems like forever but it'll fly right by our noses as we're checking things off the mighty BIG To-Do.
Our moving sale went so well and we're planning our final one for the end of the month to really clean everything out.
Then we'll sleep on the floor (with borrowed linens most likely) and eat pizza off paper plates for a week until we leave August 4th for Vegas.
Now that you're up to date on some details let me go a little deeper. Many things have been bouncing around my heart and head lately. First, the importance of being content in any condition or situation. Sounds cliche?
Well, I'm learning this one on a deeper level as we speak ...
things seem perfect ...
but under the surface there may be a war going on...
one never can tell.
Secondly, even when I face my greatest challenges there is always hope around the corner. Hope for a brighter tomorrow and a deeper understanding of where I am in the moment and what is required of me. Sometimes I can't figure out why or how ...
in fact more times than not ...
alas ... I'm not supposed to figure out the details or even how the story goes ...
I merely need to be obedient ...
and show up ... right?
Food for thought ... not ready to dive deeper on these topics yet, but I appreciate your comments below telling me what you're learning in life right now. Could be anything from guitar and French to patience and humility...share away...this is all about you anyway.
I totally wanna bring you, neighbors along for the ride of our lives. But I need to know something...what medium should I focus on getting the word out to you???
Videos? If so
Facebook live?
Instastories (fav)
YouTube?
What about...
Pinterest?
Twitter?
Facebook? (Ugh)
Linked in?
Instagram?
Any help you can give would be great but take a sec and share with us below your life lessons that are decorating your life right now.
Go in peace my darling neighbor in life and live decorated in every way you see possible...or even impossible for that matter. :)
Love ya,
Blu Wyatt
This road that I'm on I know it so well
