We are on a long journey back to the good ol' area of northern Alberta. I am used to being settled in a 'home' by this point of the year, finished up at Moose Lake for another year and back to life somewhere else. But for some reason I find myself traveling backwards. This trip from Pentiction would not feel so long if Liam would just enjoy sitting strapped into his car seat, but since he needs to get out of his seat often to stretch his legs and find stuff to chew on, we have a break the trip up. So here we are in a hotel in Valemount. It is very beautiful here and the waterslide and pool have cheered me up!
"walk on, walk on, walk on cause you can`t turn back now," is the song (by The Weepies) that played in the truck twice on the way here. It really struck me as a bit of truth for our life today. We are travelling back to a small town, all of our stuff in a horse trailor, (yes, we bought a horse trailor) and there is no turning back now. Clayton has a job offer and is preaching at a small evangelical church in Glendon Sunday. I am so nervous about what we are about to do, and equally excited. It`s strange because I am feeling polar-opposite emotions about this whole new adventure and it makes me dizzy.
But just like the song advised me, we will walk on and not turn back. If things don`t work out in Glendon and we have to turn to plan `B` (whatever plan B is LOL), than I am OK with that! But if Clayton gets this job and I become a pastors wife, than I am also happy and ready to become a small town mamma. I will learn to make perogies, crazy carpet down the hill to the beach at MLGC in the winter, maybe get a couple chickens, cross-country ski down the horse trail and take in the breath-taking sun-sets on the flat land all around me. But either way I am all in.

I am so amazingly proud of you for saying "yes" to God no matter where He wants to take you or what He wants to do in your life! That's not easy. You're incredible Christina :)
