My Hubby’s Dream…..

And mine too….to a much smaller degree…

See that gorgeous boat in the foreground, with the double wooden masts? That’s my husbands baby. He’s been working on it for 5 yrs now and it’s almost ready to go. We’ve sailed it a few times on the Columbia River where it resides, but never taken any extended trips…but that might be coming in our near future.

The Lord has impressed on my heart lately, that Allen has continually put his dream of spending a year or two on a sailboat, cruising the Inland Passage in the summer and Mexico in the winter, on hold for years. First, because we had kids to raise, then a business to run, and later due to our building a home. I’ve been feeling like it’s time for him to realize his dream. I’m not sure exactly how the Lord is going to work that out….it may entail Him blessing the socks off our business (which we could put in the hands of a manager while we’re gone) or me being willing to sell our new home…and yes, I’ll do that if that’s what it takes.

I know the Lord will bless my willingness, and I’m giving it to Him. I can still pursue my writing while sailing, and we don’t have grandbabies yet, so this seems like a logical time to go. So….one of these days, Lord Willing, you might be seeing these blogs posted from some exotic location, with pictures sprinkled along the way!!
