Starting Over Again

Well we've come full circle. From traveling all over the country enjoying seeing and doing all kinds of new things to trying to start up our "normal" lives again in a new state with limited success we decided to test the antithesis of Thomas Wolfe's statement, "you can't go home again"! We are back in Columbia. Many sleepless nights, hours of prayer and long conversations between us have brought us this place, again. Since we had given away or sold most of our household possessions we now get to replace a few things. We stayed with our "less is more" mindset and moved into a 440 sf cottage in downtown Columbia. Since we had already scaled down to live in a 360 sf 5th wheel travel trailer it isn't too much of a transition to stretch out in an extra 80 sf! For now we plan to reconnect with old friends, renew ministry relationships, continue our search for jobs, complete our move in/organization of our newest home and be thankful for all that God has done and is doing in our lives. It seems that we are truly "Living Life Backwards" but are enjoying every new thing God is teaching us! To be continued...
