As long as we are alive we
will keep dreaming and as we keep dreaming we will continue to keep chasing
those dreams.
We are on a journey, a journey of trying to live very intentionally. Trying to arrange our lives to
reflect what we value the most. Deliberately living a life of purpose and
passion.
We look at where we are and
plan out where we want our life as a family to go. We are learning where our
priorities lay and we are working very hard to establish what is most important
for our family.
This is hard work. But we want to look back at the memories
that we have made and say it was all worth it!
One of our goals is to teach
Colton and Miranda how important dreams are. It is normal to dream and more
importantly, it is important to know how to work hard to make those dreams come
true. They know how to do hard things. We want them to not be afraid
of hard work, dreams or the world. Through this hard work, they will achieve
tremendous benefits of personal growth and character development.
Four years ago we started on
a journey that began with a dream. This dream included hard choices. Choices that brought
us to the place of selling our dream home, packing up our lives of 20 years and
storing it all in an old shed on a country yard. This became the start of a two-year journey that brought our
family through 11 European countries, 5 SE Asian countries, New Zealand and
Australia and 4 southern US states. We also spent 7 months house sitting for 3
different families and squeezed into a one-bedroom apartment for 3 months. All
in an effort, to make our dream attainable.
In all this time of travel we spent 24/7 together as family.
In all this time of travel, I spent no more than 10-15 minutes without one of
my family members by my side. Some might say this dream would not be for them.
But it was a dream that none of us was ready to see stop. The problem with this
particular dream was that for us, it came too quickly to an end.
So what to do when the dream
you thought would be fulfilled after a certain time frame does not end?
