I haven’t been posting on my blog so much this last great while. I could say I just haven’t had much to say, but that probably wouldn’t be accurate. I’ve more honestly had too much to say, but nothing that I can put together within the walls of my mind lately, to type it out properly.

And then I heard it the other day. The reason why I have not been writing lately. To quote from my new favorite movie, We Bought A Zoo

Rosie Mee, the young daughter, to her father asks:

How come you don’t tell stories anymore?
Benjamin Mee, her father, replies:

Well, because we’re livin’ the story.

 

Right now, our family is living the story. I began writing the story of our Our Long Way Home back in May of 2012. Now, it’s getting close to a year later, and the story is still far from over.

Some days, our family has become a little weary of this long way home. We pray daily that our hobby farm in BC will sell because we had hopes of buying a much larger acreage here on the Prairies. Every.Single.Other.Thing has fallen into place so beautifully here on the prairies. My husband and our two eldest children all have great jobs, the kids both received great raises today at those jobs. We have an awesome church family that brings us wonderful encouragement and support. We’ve made great friends. My business continues to thrive. Our life is just as we hoped it would be.We LOVE living on the prairies.

Yet… we still live with the daily echo of, “when the house sells…”

In the meantime we continue to hope, and pray, that this one last, very big piece of the puzzle, will finally fall into place while we keep on keeping on. We encourage one another to continue to hope, and continue to work hard towards that future. It’s got to happen!

Each new morning brings new hope of a brighter future for our family!
