A year ago was a whole different life.
One of my favorite things is the mega creative rush of wild ideas that flood my brain along with a drenching of espresso three minutes after my first sip of an uber-caffienated black coffee. Ryan knows the phone call that follows well. 🙂
A year ago. I think back to the wild ideas we had then. It’s a culmination of crazy dreams that now make up our reality.
I LOVE our life. The only way I can describe this strange feeling of just plain loving the life we’re living is like …ya know when you’re so mad that your blood is boiling?, well its sorta like that but the opposite. My blood is tingling with joy. All the time.
Yes, admittedly, if you drew my blood you’d probably find a staggaring level of caffeine. BUT STILL! The ideas, opportunities, and adventurous paths that can branch off of what this life is mind boggling to me!
And the Tiny House, yes, is a huge variable in that it has wheels. Wheels = opportunity and availability, new environments, new adventures.
But GOD is devine! He can do immeasurably more with our lives than we can ever even fathom. I could have pure espresso pumping through my veins and still not even come close!
This adventure didn’t start when we said Yes! to living in a Tiny House. It started when we realized our brokeness and incapability to continue of the path of debt, struggle, and insufficiency that we were on. God nudged us to give Him one piece of the puzzle, the house. Everything changed when we started praying for a house (ie. no mortgage). Yes, the mortgage is completely huge in our eyes but for God the puzzle piece was no different than any other.
God did amazing things with that puzzle piece! We started giving God control of more puzzle pieces and now I’m here telling you how my blood is tingling with joy! Yes, I know that is completely bizarro. Lol! But it is. Tingley, caffieney, Jesus-Praising, JOY!

This is really beautiful and inspiring. Thank you for sharing. The freedom of letting go and letting God, because trials are sooo heavy to carry alone.
Thank you, Laura! A little mushy. I was just totally embracing the mush. 🙂 Yes, God can totally handle it!
