We’ve been on our extraordinary Brown adventure for two weeks
now! Although I have to admit, I had my
doubts it would ever happen (everything from a hole in the carpet to an alternator
gone bad happened within 24 hours of our departure). Spiritual warfare… But this trip has been in
the works for over a year now. It all
started with my husband’s (at the time, crazy, wild hair) idea to take our
motor home across the United States. We
were tired of the rat race, of not spending time as a family, and of desperately
trying to hold on while we watched our three kiddos grow too fast. So together with our love for travel and our
need to slow down, we asked God to help us with our plan: He had to help us
sell our home…and that He did! Within 20
days of it being on the market!
Literally less than a year ago, we were living in an American dream home
with an American dream job…but something was missing and here we are to find
it: in the desert of Arizona, all five
of us (and two dogs) in a 1981 motorhome living off the grid…and it is
EXTRAORDINARY! Do I occasionally miss a
long shower and my kitchen aid? Yes. But
being together as a family, slowing down, and watching our kids laugh and enjoy
life is worth every sacrifice we’ve taken (with the help of our heavenly
Father, families, and friends) to get here.
May we encourage you all to slow down and enjoy life more. Heck, come join us! Thank you for all your love, support, and
prayers. Peace and Love, Eric, Jenna,
Addalynn, Ethan, and Abram (Sophie and Holly)
Glad to hear you made it out on to the road! Blessings on your adventure!
