Following a Dream!!




Have you ever thought about dreams? Not the ones that come to you while sleeping, but the ones that you find yourself thinking about in everyday life. For me... it has always been to get a camping trailer and the fun that would be included. My grandparents generation, were always in trailers and RV's when we went to family reunions in the state campground. My family has always been tent campers... until just recently, when my parents bought their first trailer. They bought one of the smaller, lite-weight trailers; that my dad can barely stand in, but can move about himself. It fits them, but isn't for us and our kids.
Sean and I have both talked about getting a trailer, for years. Well... we went to get one last year, but found it just out of the budget.
So... skip to current time and through a year of trying to house remodeling, a house on the market, a dream of moving to Texas (from Oregon), and WOW! What a ride!
Well... the house didn't sell, we didn't move... but I have accepted some of our dreams were not the right path for us to take. I find it interesting, how sometimes I just feel things. It feels right, or it feels wrong. This feels like the one... that sort of thing. I kept feeling like I really wanted to be moving, but yet knew it wasn't the time. Well... God showed me, huh!
So, we have now refinanced the house & we have BOUGHT our camping trailer!!!! Yep, got the bank OK this morning. WOOHOO!! Just finished putting insurance on it. WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now... the down side, is we will be working to pay bills for 6 yrs. BUT... I don't think I have ever felt more calm about a big purchase, in my life. And we have made a few now.
I will be saying some thank yous in prayers tonight. :)
