Nelson Mandela once said "I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."
Sounds appropriate for the crossroad in which I find myself at the current moment...the fear is real.
Justin and I have found the perfect property for our future farming endeavours. 105 acres. Secluded. Picturesque. Quiet. House and 2 barns ready to go...just add the willing farmers. Oh, the fear is real people.
It sounds easy enough on paper. We know its what we we want to do, the life we want for ourselves and the life we want to give our girls. We're just finding the courage at the moment, the courage to conquer the fear.
It's our chance to make a beautiful life...to experience everything God has given us to enjoy, and to leave behind the things we don't want to be a part of any longer.
We have an old fashioned "sit-down" scheduled next week to talk with the owners and figure out the logistics of buying the place...I can hardly sit still thinking about it. I don't know if I can wait that long...that's what is telling me this is a good thing.
Until then, it's time forme us to get our "city house" ready for the market and hope that it will sell quickly and give us what we need to get started in the new place.
The journey starts now.
Lord, please help me...
