Leaving Sooner

Since we have spoken last, some things have happened.

1. We were sealed as a family in the Salt Lake City, UT temple

2. We were inspired to join forces [completely] with family members.

3. We began Selling our most valuable (yet, less important) items.

4. We posted everything else in our house for FREE!

5. In the same day, we packed our trailer, and drove down to Utah.

So let's begin!

Right before we were to be sealed, we were inspired, as well as our family, to join forces completely.

We felt the need to seek the answers to our questions, more fully, through prayer and study.

Only a day or two after we were sealed, massive confirmation came, and we knew exactly what we were to do! One thing threw me in a loop, and that was... To be open minded about the possibility of NOT getting an RV. WHAT??? Okay, after knowing this, i had a cry session. I was in the process of downsizing ALL OF MY STUFF, and totally had the expectation that we would be getting an RV. You know, when you expect something, and it doesn't happen... something happens inside your brain, that's like massive explosions, mixed with dissatisfaction and disappointment inside your heart. What happened next, was cool! The RV we were looking at was $14,000 in value, being sold for 7,000. And he dropped the price down to 4,500 for us! Totally amazing, right? It felt like everything was falling into place! Well, as soon as we could, we pulled the money off our card, had the cash in our hand, and messaged the seller. We told him that we would be coming down, and picking it up.

However, the seller sold the RV to someone local, who had paid 7,000 for it the night before. It made me feel frustrated, at first. Then i nodded my head, saying "He got what he was asking for. That is a blessing to him."

As soon as i said that, I then thought to myself "The buyer, must have needed it. This was a blessing to him!" It changed my perspective of it, but it still make me a little anxious. to know that we are downsizing everything, and had just Sold everything of high value, that we wouldn't be getting into an RV anytime soon, if at all.

Still I had enough faith, to know that everything happens for a reason. It may have taken away from the purpose we have. It may have not been something we NEED to move forward and up, It may have been more important for him to have it, than us.

I became open, even more, for inspiration and guidance. And suddenly, plans changed instantly.

We no longer had any question, on what we were to do, and where we were to go. We were only asking "When?"

Upon receiving these inspirations and answers, we sold as much as we could, donated the rest, turned in our house keys, and took our trailer and our little family to Utah! The day we left, we were supposed to leave no later than 3pm.

That didn't happen!

We finally turned in our keys, got our kids in the car, and got on the highway at 8pm.

About a mile outside of town, we were climbing in speed (about 65-70mph) and my husband realized he needed to put his seat belt on. As he one-handed it, his other hand slightly jerked the steering wheel and our trailer began swerving! Literally from one white line to the other. Going over the lane on both sides!

We finally were steady and decided it was best to go 40-45mph, the rest of the way.

Now, our family lives 2 hrs 45 min away from Evanston. going half the speed, means double the time. It was a Long 6 hours....

-We realized our trailer tail lights were out, so we stopped in Park City to buy new lights.

-The semi's got too close for comfort

-We were driving 45mph the whole time.

-We were pulled over in Orem for driving in the HOV lane (I was sleeping and my husband wasn't aware of the express lane guidelines/rules)

- We were confronted by deer about 7 times. Two of those times, the deer were in the road and we had to stop or drive outside our lane, around them, to be safe. And at 2am Exactly, we arrived at our destination!

Man! That was quite the experience! Jamon would have more to say, since he was the main person in all of this.

But i was So happy to get inside and lay down to sleep on a mattress! The biggest thing I learned from the last few weeks, In order to have abundance, and thrive in your purpose, is to;

1. Trust FULLY In the Lord

2. Have Faith in The Plan, and in the Lord's Missionaries (Including my husband) 3. Be Completely Charitable!

Some of you, may not understand WHY we would ever sacrifice so much to do crazy stuff like this. And some of you, may completely get it! What I know for sure, is we are being guided completely by the Lord, and choosing His plan for us. Once and for all! Every time i consider myself being utterly crazy, i remember that this is the most SURE i have been for my life and my families life. Stay tuned for what happened Next!
