No house news yet. Waiting.
I realized yesterday that we've only been here 7 weeks. It does feel longer. Moreover, I suppose our previous life feels so distant. But 7 weeks is a pretty short time in light of such a huge transition. Perspective helps one to find needed grace.
Moreover, I have even an even better source to which to turn.
"O God of grace...
The worth of Jesus perfumes my feeble breathings....
May I walk lovingly with my great Redeemer."~ The Valley of VisionSometimes my heart does feel rather feeble and fragile amidst this adventure we have embraced. I'm so grateful that there is Provision apart from me.
"We are utterly incapable of living the glorious lives God wills for us.....[But] He got us out of the mess we're in and restored us to where He always wanted us to be." Rom 3:24
He will help us to live and do what He's asked us to live and do. Yes, so grateful.

You guessed it, I'm still on Day 4: Greeley, CO, through Wyoming, to Stockton, UT,
520 miles, 9 & 1/4 hours.
I love how large the Utah skies are.
How did folks ever survive before wide-spread irrigation methods?
Varied and fascinating rock formations.
There's so much wind to harness out west.

This is a landscape of a desert , mainly. You wonder how primeval men lived there ? I think they were only hunters and no farmers . So the nature was able to regenerate itself and was more in balance .
And also did they live in the bottom of the canyons ??? You see your pictures excite my imagination!!!!

Your trip west was definitely prettier than mine from California to Oklahoma! I-40 was nothing more than dirt mountains or rock mountains, and the predominant color was brown, changing to red clay! Very flat. Flat, Flat, FLAT!!!! No mountains in the distance. Then, some dried up cornfields and more FLAT!!!! Very boring to a 19 year old pioneer!!!!!!!!!!!!
So interesting to see the different states. We took a road trip from Iowa to Tucson, AZ last fall. Although loverly and neat to see othere places Iowa really keeps me satisfied.
Ha -- I remember friends of ours going out to the fields and changing the pipes (hoses?) every hour! And yes, wind could be a viable alternative source of energy -- in Palm Springs, there are windmill farms which send power back to the grid rather than drawing from it -- the whole town is energized by windmills!
