a thought, a prayer Our reality

Shortly after Jonathan and I got married (2008) we talked about how it would be cool for us as a family to go out on the road with him when he works, but it was just a thought and it never really went any further then that.


But fast forward to September of 2009 when we had a miscarriage and he was in Tulsa working (I'll blog later on that) did it become apparent that we needed him to be closer to home. We talked ALOT about him finding a job here in town, but knew that it would be a pretty bold task to walk away from a job to look for something in this economy, so we took to praying about it. 
Well...................................... Life started happening and we kind of got into our ways of him going out of town and us visiting him if the job was longer then a few weeks, then him being home for a few week and so on and so on... 
Then we found out we where pregnant for the 1st time after the miscarriage in June of 2010 and it was a GREAT time in our lives. We added Grace Renee Owen to our family January 25, 2011...


Adding Grace to our family REALLY started to show that being away from a growing family just wasn't something Jonathan, myself or the girls could/wanted to do, so we took to praying hard about finding away to keep us together as a family while Jonathan worked. 
GOD heard this prayer loud in clear and gave Jonathan a answer, take the girls out on the road with you..


When Jonathan first told me "what do you think about buying a travel trailer and going out on the road with me?"  I was like sounds AWESOME but inside I was thinking I can't quit my job and pull Haven out of school to go out on the road.... But I know that God gave Jonathan authority over our family so if that's what he wanted then I would do it even if it scared me to no end.
Over the next few months Jonathan's was gone more then ever working and it was harder and harder to be away from him..  It even started to effect the up beat sun shine of a girl Haven. 
So during the time Jonathan worked more and more I started to pray that God would open and door and window or even a crack in the wall for us to be together full time ( I was thinking Jonathan would find a new job) but the more I prayed the more I loved the idea of being on the road with Jonathan and the girls. Home schooling Haven and Grace and seeing America like never before. 


So we made the plunge in to it, be picked a job in Abilene Tx as our test run so make sure it was something we could do.. : ) A week of home school and me will the girls full time..
