On the Road

I'm finally on the road. Picked up my trailer about a week ago, then spent several days getting things in order, figuring things out, etc. Left the area that's been my home for the past decade a few days ago, and truly began my travels. I'm in Michigan now, visiting an old friend; next up to Ontario, to see another, even older one.

So far it's been more like a shakedown cruise than a recreational journey: I'm still learning how everything works, and getting my routines established. But it's coming quickly, and I'm sure I'll be getting much more enjoyment out of it before long.

I'll be staying with my friend in Ontario for a week or so, then heading down to Toronto for the first of the real reasons I'm doing this: to seek encounters with God at one of the churches where He is known to show up regularly. I'll be there until late August.

Because also, Carolina is coming back in late August, and I'm picking her up in Toronto. We spent some time praying about it, and both agreed that we felt the Lord calling us to seek Him and His will for our future together. To seek His will together, that is, not that He revealed that His will for our future is to be together. Although maybe. I'm open to being shown by Him that that is the case. She truly is wonderful to me. But once again, it's not about that, or my feelings; it's about God's plan for our future. "For I know the plans I have for you: plans of good, and not of evil, to give you hope and bring you to an expected end." (Jer 29:11)

There is an obvious question that arises from us traveling together and sharing living quarters, since we are Christians and seeking active encounter with God, so let me answer it clearly but tactfully: No. We are in a relationship, and we have been and will be sharing quarters, because of the unique circumstance in which we find ourselves; but we have a line that we don't cross, mutually agreed upon, and that's that.
