Hello from the middle of the desert

It's actually been over 2 years since I can say we have boondocked... but here we are. Frank is working a job with rv armor out here in Quartzsite AZ and we are out here on the BLM land for the week with friends. It's been really fun hanging out with treasured friends and meeting new people again! Tonight we are going to bake bread on the campfire to go with our pasta and make some campfire popcorn. It's reminded us of so many of the reasons we fell in love with doing this. That may sound crazy since we are boondocked. And no. We have no hookups BUT our camper holds plenty of water and a generator so we are not without amenities but have to use them in careful reserves.  The boys have pulled out their chessboard and are entertaining themselves. And yes. We are actually having an amazing week despite the lack of hook ups!

Selfish Desire or Freedom in Grace?

This past week we have stayed about 20 miles south of Sedona AZ. It is quite possibly the perfect marriage of desert & cold flowing rivers. I have learned I am still very much in love with the great southwest.

We have been able to visit several National monuments nearby this week & Slide Rock state park.

 On Sunday we found a fantastic church to visit, & connect with in Cottonwood AZ. 

I am not ready for our time here to end. 

Despite the fact that cell phone service & internet is less than stellar

THIS place is beautiful. 

So we are faced with decisions.

push back toward SoCal 

toward the hi-desert. 

To get closer to my mom. 

Or. Keep traveling where we choose....

These days it is difficuIt to know the BEST way to go. 

I am conflicted. 

We know God can use our journey 

no matter where we are located. 

But knowing when & where isn't always easy.
