I took a couple months off social media.  I have been back-and-forth on whether or not I should be sharing our journey abroad. 

I have often wondered what people might think and the questions they might have… “How did you get to Mexico, why are you travelling NOW? Your STILL homeschooling” and I have wondered How to respond or if its even necessary to do so.

Its hard not to get caught up in the chatter and sometimes less than nice comments of what people are saying. And I admit, there have  been times where the stress and chaos of the world, has got to me, who hasn’t, and I have allowed my emotions to take over. 

One thing that I know to be true is that I am exactly where I am supposed to be in this season of life.

 I am choosing to remove the fear of man to prevent me from sharing the life God is calling me to.

I was on a morning beach walk a couple of weeks ago, carrying the emotions of my kids feeling sad that Christmas was not going to look the same this year. In that, I was wondering why God has called us to be here.

Although thankful to be in the beautiful warm climate, I had been feeling a little lost on the purpose of this new adventure. 

In a moment of surrender, I hear it ever so clearly “You are here to train your children to feed my people”

Everything became clear. Not easier but clear. 

I have been chosen, and appointed to parent my kids and bring them up in the way of the Lord. Mike and I alone, have been given authority over them. Period. For Ultimately they are the Lords.

Once the Lord reveals the purpose behind the battle everything becomes clear. 

So with that, we will be here in Mexico and possibly Central America, until God calls us home. That may be 2 months, or it may be 2 years. We have fully experienced the day by day, moment to moment provision of the lord during our “walk about in the desert in 2019” We have made our peace with the 11th hour provision the Lord tends to give us. 😉

 I am constantly reminded that ” Everyone has over come by the words of their testimony and the [ blood of the lamb] ” Rev 12:11
Which is why I feel it’s important to share these parts of our story with hope that it may illuminate or give courage to you to step out in faith to what God is calling you to or to trial that you are facing.

For I have been called to this moment for such a time as this.
