Our New Adventure

We depart in 14 days. We will be headed to North Ga for our first stop with 40+ of our favorite folks. We will be in two cabins for four days enjoying the uninterrupted time of fellowship, laughter, eating, and late nights! These are the community of folks that we have been serving God together for over 4 years now. We have been through a TON and it will be wonderful to celebrate with them all that we have overcome and seen change in our lives.

Here is a letter we put together for those of you who didn't get it so that you can know a little bit about what we will be doing for the next two and half months and beyond ;)

Dear friends and family,


We wanted to let you know about some changes that are taking place with our family that we are very excited about. As some of you may know, I’ve been unsatisfied with my job situation for several years now, but haven’t really had any clear direction on what to do about it. I’ve considered several options, but haven’t had a real peace from the Lord about pursuing anything.



A few weeks ago we found out that our landlords are expecting another child and due to needing more room are wanting to move back in their condo. We pursued finding another rental close by, but didn’t have much luck. Again, we considered several options, but didn’t really have a peace about anything. This is when a strange idea popped in my head that I wasn’t able to shake. Why not quit your job and travel the country with your family. Go out west and see a lot of those places you’ve always wanted to see. Take this time to really pray and seek God about the next phase in life. Where would He have us go and what would He have us do. Fortunately we are presently debt free and were recently blessed with some inheritance money that will enable us to make the trip.



Please keep us in your prayers over the next few months. We would also welcome any input or advice you might have to give. We look forward to hearing from you and will keep you posted as things develop. As it stands now we plan to leave August 1st and will see some friends in Tennessee and then will head to Colorado. We will make our way to California to visit some friends making several stops along the way at some National parks.



Charlotte’s addition :)



I can’t think of a better time for us to go on this trip. In the last year we have learned quite a few things about living simply, sharing daily life with people not in your family and what homeschooling means for us. All of these lessons will be used daily as we live in a tent, stay in people’s homes and do our schooling on the road. I will be attempting to document our trip with video, pictures and journal entries using our blog. For those of you who have gone to the site and seen our story for the last couple of years you know the way but we would like to invite all of you to stop by. www.three-fold-cord.blogspot.com You can click on the link it will take you right there (that is for you Gram) Ok, I think that is all except please pray for us. Pray for unity among the children, wisdom for Larry and grace for this suburb girl.

We love you all,

Larry, Charlotte and the kids
