I thought something else would happen when I booked us a vacation to Tennessee!
Something akin to a voice of prophesy...something definitive on which way I should turn.
What I got was a spectacular view of mountains. Each new morning brought a completely different image set into my memory forever. We had an "uphill" start to our visit. First of all, the trip up the mountain was horrific. I have this terrible fear of having my vehicle konk out...well we were loaded down to the max and losing power plus overheating as we made the climb to our cabin. I actually called His name out, much to the delight of my family as we made our way up switchback curves and a narrow passageway. Then the toilet got plugged. I sat on the deck and cried. My husband and two girls were playing Foosball! Who was the fool here! Needless to say...the maintenance man came in less than an hour...the van never sputtered a bit the rest of the trip.
I learned much during our week here. From that first night on I put my full trust in God! From roller coasters to mountain peaks, I thought about Him and his grace which led me to just relax, let the events flow and enjoy this time away with my family.
Tennessee is a beautiful state. Though we didn't get to all the things I had planned on doing, all were pleased in this first trip to the Volunteer State! Even our side trip home to U. of Tennessee went without a hitch, what we thought was a wrong turn led us directly to the campus bookstore and stadium. Got us some authentic U. of Tennessee wear!
Funniest oddity we found...the original Kentucky Fried Chicken Cafe while geocaching in Kentucky. I got a kick out of that!
My girl got another call for a job interview...she had posted her resume on a site she doubted anyone would use. The Christian school hasn't rejected her, they sent more info and paperwork for her to fill out.
As for myself, things are more simplified, I am more respectful and thankful to God for this stage I am going through. Thank you for the reality check and the opportunity to dump my junk!
