Day 7 Travel Home

Today, we left Florida and made the long drive back home. We did it all in one day, something I do NOT recommend 🙂 It was raining for the majority of the trip home, making it a little easier to leave…a little. I made it 126 miles before the first lip swelling and tingling began. I was 92 miles outside South Padre Island before my symptoms began to slowly return. The rain this time probably helped account for the extra mileage. I don’t know exactly what the days ahead will hold but I know who does. This impromptu trip was not what I expected but I am overwhelmed by His blessings.

Moving?

Growing up we moved a lot. I attended 9 schools then I married a military man. We spent the next two decades moving. We longed for the day when we would finally be able to put down roots and have our forever home. We thought Oklahoma was that place. Finally, we would not have to leave our friends and family behind, not to mention a piece of our hearts. I must confess it is easier to receive a set of orders that outline exactly where and when you will be moving than to seek God’s will. He is growing us in a different way now. I see Him working in our lives. It seems like we will be moving but where and when we do not know. Trying to find a team of doctors that know about my disease is challenging enough, let alone a specialist that can treat a complicated patient like me 🙂 I do know that God will make His will for each member of our family very clear in the days and months ahead and He will pave our way. I just wish he would send us an email with all the details lined out 🙂 Your prayers for guidance and direction are much appreciated.
