Heading in the Right Direction?

I've been wondering lately if we are heading in the right direction in life.

I've wondered if my 'sense' of what god wanted from us was even a reality, or just my own reasoning to move on and do something seemingly important and life-giving, rather than self-serving.

I'm even questioning whether we really can have a 'sense' of what god desires of us. If it's not a sense then what is it? It just seems so real and communicative that there seems no way for it to be anything but that.

I'm not really sure why I'm questioning all of this but it just has been in the back of my mind that I can't seem to help but question it all.

The question of faith and belief are at the heart of this question for me.

Explainable?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Where do I begin?

Where does it all end?

For whom does this only become reality for?

Me?

Only others?

Many?

None?

We've Postponed Our Move to Portland...

Okay, so it would seem weird to say you're leaving one moment and then having to turn around and say you're staying. I thought I'd feel strange having to share this with everyone. But in fact, it doesn't faze me.

The need to make our decision was extremely important. Michael was literally killing himself with having to continue working and figuring out our financial and house situation before we could move. The work kept coming, the financial was headache breaking and the house stuff was going no where. So, we needed to reassess where things were going and change gears.

We don't know what the timeline looks like in terms of moving to Portland, but it will be dependent on the house. Whether we can sell it, or get a renter.

I know there are so many friends and family that are thrilled that we have postponed, though it only prolongs the agony of our leave, but more time is better than no time.

So, more adventures and memories in Chico until the day we head else where!
