Take Heart

It has been years since I even thought of blogging, not sure how to jump back in.  I was only knee deep to begin with.  My plan for this blog is fitting to its name, living on the edge.  James and I have decided to sell our house and furniture and most belongings and move into a camper to get out of debt and see where we go from there.  I have gone from a firm "no" to re-touching all the baseboards to prepare the house for sale and looking online at countless  5th wheel floor plans that will accommodate my family of four.  I am ready for the adventure that will lead to freedom and I plan/promise to take you on this adventure to the edge with me.

first step getting sign in the yard:

This morning I read Matthew 9 and twice I was stuck by the words" Take Heart".  Jesus says it twice and then he preforms a miracle for the recipients of the words.  It is as if he is saying, hey I know you are not sure if this whole faith thing is going to work out but I assure you it is, "Take Heart"  you are healed.    I was also reminded of when Jesus says this to his confused disciples. "Take Heart, I have overcome the world."  this was just before the greatest miracle of his death and Resurrection.  so just before we see what God is going to do with this scary thing we call faith; which in all of these cases is an amazing miracle, he says "take heart."  And that is where I am in the movement of faith just before I understand what God is going to do.  I hear him gently saying to me today."Take Heart."


My boys are always ready for adventure:
