The Process always Makes for a Better Product.



Join in our RV adventure
and help us name this place!

The RV adventure has begun.  It was slow getting out of the gate as It took longer than we expected to sell our house but now we are all moved in and still very much settling in. People have asked what do you call your trailer, home or  "The Trailer".   Right now it does not yet feel like home but more than just camping. We need to name this place and would love your input here.    The "name that RV" winner will receive.  Vintage trailer party lights.  fun!  just comment  and include your email address for contact.


One of the first things I did when we got the trailer was hang pictures and begin the process of making this little rig a place that feels warm and worth making memories in.  My friends have even begun pinning ideas for me and I love them for understanding me.  Two challenges in this transition have been making the trailer seem like our home and  organizing.  Both will be a process.  Easy enough to say.  We hear it often  " it's a process"  but when I really think about it, it is not easy to be OK with things in process.  We would all much prefer a finished product. NOW!  But things take time.

James knows that when I say I need  to eat.  It means food consumption needs to begin now, no waiting,  no processing,  food in mouth or else.  I try and keep some quick snacks available for these times when waiting is not optional.  However to enjoy a meal is much different, it is preparing, tasting, seeing, waiting, longing and slowly enjoying.  It is not food but a meal.  And it if trying to cook this said meal with a toddler underfoot it is most definately a process.

The  same is true with relationships, conversations, and our walk with God.  We may need a quick text or a small verse to get us by but that is no long phone call, or coffee, no long walk ,or retreat.  Both are needed in the process but we can not always substitute snacking for a meal here either.

I would love to have everything where I want it right now in this RV.  I have shoved somethings in draws and thought," that wont stay there but I need to get it off the floor now before I stub my toe that I can not feel anyway", if you don't know about me numb feet it is a story for another time.  But my intention is to find the proper place for those items soon;  to linger in the process and make this storage work long term.

We may not see the finished product  in some areas of our lives this side of heaven but seeking to invest in what we desire to be long term will be worth the effort, worth the process.  So snack and text and shove things in draws but always ask yourself if that is worth a longer investment at some point.  for if it is a process it will be a better product.

Things that are  in process at the RV:
