There are no pictures to share today. It's our last day in Oregon before a very early flight tomorrow.
We are so blessed with a great life in Indiana, but there are times like today when I struggle to remember what was so bad about our life in Oregon with family close by that made us (me) seek something different. When I think about it for a moment though I am reminded that it wasn't that life wasn't good, but that we felt a calling and something pulling us to be in Indiana.
I knew then and still believe today that God had/has something special in store for us in Indiana. That move four years ago was more about obedience than opportunity, and that's a great lesson for my kids to learn. As hard as leaving wonderful family behind is, there are and have been many incredible blessings for us in Indiana. As questions and doubts creep into my mind, it's these blessings that remind me why it's important to be obedient and how God has already used our family.
So, yes, we all leave Oregon very sad from tearful good-byes, but heading home to Indiana brings a different kind of comfort. It's just the distance between the different that makes it so tough; and I wish being obedient didn't make my family cry.
