Be Still and know that I am God. 

Traveling has really helped me to slow down. Like really sloooow down.  For a girl who was always on the move, going to every event, workout, children’s playdate I could.

 To having no car, no friends, and no place to go.

Never in my life did I take that time to watch a sunset, to look forward to it. It wasn’t until our 2nd summer traveling, living in a little cottage in Gloucester, MA looking over Walker Creek that I fell in love with the sunset.  

I had never seen such beauty. The purples, the pinks, and the blues.  It was different everyday and especially when the waters was at high tide.  

Traveling to a location for work doesn’t mean you are on vacation and surrounded by all the fun amenities.  It’s living life as normal in a strange and unknown location. As a result of not knowing anyone or having any place to go I have had to learn, to accept, and be thankful for the quiet.  I have learned the joy of missing out (still learning this...). 

There is a joy in the sunset and watching God paint the sky with His majesty. 

I have had a complete mental shift in these past two plus years of life training. It is the stillness, the quiet, and the slowness of life that I am really enjoying. I thank God for this traveling experience and that I was willing to take the leap into this unknown journey with my husband and 3 kids at the time, now 4.  The journey of discovering me and who I really was created to be instead of getting caught up in everything else and everyone else.  All the ‘good’ things in life that have been distracting me from seeing God’s true purpose in filling me up and making me whole. 

So last night I thought maybe I would start writing about the traveling physical therapy experience through the eyes of the wife.  I’m not a very good writer, speller, you name it, I’m probably pretty average at about everything, but Jesus loves me, accepts me so I’m going for it.  

So anyways I’m sitting here homeschooling my 2 oldest with their math (1st and 3rd grade). Not to hard- but it’s like pulling teeth- they need constant prodding and reminders to focus- I’m wearing thin (we do this everyday for 180 days of school- Ugh).    Maybe it’s me- because I can’t even seem to focus on the topic I wanted to discuss. 

However, my goal with these posts is to be positive and encouraging but sometimes it might be overshadowed by my desire to be real and honest.  So let me put this out there.  

I love traveling...for the most part.  Stay tuned as I start to reveal the past two Plus years of traveling with my Physical Therapist husband and our family of 4 fun, crazy, wild  and loving kids :)
