My Traveling Song

Cammie and I have always been a fan of the Sounds of James Taylor. His music always puts me in a good place of comfort and rest . His "Carolina On My Mind" has been our theme song for the past few months. Last week Cammie purchased a new James Taylor CD. There were two great songs in the mix. One of them was just plain old good advice. The premise of the song is that the secret of life is to enjoy the passage of time. That's what Cammie and I are doing these days. We are enjoying the journey that is all a part of this passage of our life. I'd just like to say that we're having a blast.

Another great song in the collection was entitled, "My Traveling Song." Every time I listen I'm brought to tears. It's not so much the story the song tells that brings the emotion. Instead, each time I listen, I am able to identify my traveling song. You see, on Friday morning, Cammie and Zach and I and our three dogs (Abby, Pearl & Lucy) will load up the car and start our four days of travel as we start our journey of going home. (We'll be home for Christmas. Another song.) I know that my traveling song will be filled with expressions of Thanksgiving to our faithful God. He cares about every detail of our life. The big and the small. It's all important to Him. That's my traveling song.

This will be a Christmas to remember. Better than anything Hallmark could write.

I looked up you blog after reading the article in the Ventura paper today. We have similar stories although mine is still in process. Our home has been on market for a year. God has called us on an amazing journey that has been full of struggle but also full of His grace. It was not until august we realized that God has called us into fulltime ministry and we hope to be at that calling by Feb 08 Our house needs to sell first. That is certainly our desire but God may have different plans Thanks for sharing your story..it was encouraging to see how God worked out the details. Have a blessed time in your new home as you serve Jesus in NC
