4 Months Later

After much prayer & preparation, Keith is pursuing his life-long dream of hiking the Appalachian Trail. Departure date is Monday, March 7, 2011. His plans are to start at Springer Mtn, GA & travel 3 days to Neels Gap; if he can get up the next day, he will travel again & so forth, until, hopefully, he will make it to Katadin in Maine; just a little over 2200 miles. Plans are to be back by our anniversary date in September & Grant's first b'day. He says he will blog as he goes along, so you can follow him from there and me from here in TN. My plans are to travel to Nicaragua with our church in April for an evangelistic mission trip where we have a partnership with a church/school in Corinto. We are living temporarily in a rented condo in order to be somewhat flexible as to where we may be by the fall or next year. Hope this does not sound as if we were 'flying by the seat of our pants'. Our intention is to be available to what & where the LORD might want us next. This gives me some stability & a good place to 'nest' while Keith is able to do this. He turned 60 in 2010 & we both believe the LORD is giving us this time for a season - I believe it is true that He gives us the desires of our heart.
