Ana and Isa’s blog

Dear Faithful Readers,

Thank you again for taking the time out of your busy lives to read our blog.
Tomorrow we depart for our long road trip and book tour. We are frantically packing last minute details- John Cougar Melloncamp and Dixie Chicks CDs, japanese food, Isa’s bagpipes, car survival supplies, a crock pot for homecooked meals in hotels, GPS, wireless internet access, and of course, laxatives. As is typical for anyone with CF travelling, much of our baggage is medical/CF related ( I guess the same could be send metaphorically from psychological standpoint as well). I reflect on where I was a year ago- quitting work in April because of rejection- and where I am today. I can’t believe it. I was looking through my journal and came across a prayer I received by email last year this time. It reads ” ” God wanted me to tell you it shall be well with you this  year. No matter how much your enemies try this year, they will not succeed. You have been destined to make it and you shall surely achieve all your goals this year. For the remaining months of the year, all your agonies will be diverted and victory a nd prosperity will be incoming in abundance. Today God has confirmed the end of your sufferings , sorrows and pain because he that sits on the throne has remembered you. He has taken away the hardships and given you JOY. He will never let you down. ” 
It speaks to me now so powerfully and I feel so privileged. I can’t help but think God believed I had unfinished business for 2008. I feel so bad for all those having transplant and CF complications right now, struggling to survive while we roam free and make plans. I will certainly keep them in my prayers during this trip.

 New opportunities have opened up and we look forward to meeting new people and visiting new places on this journey. Already we have been showered with unbelievable kindness and generosity by people helping us with accomodations. We thank them immensely.
So we depart tomorrow, our spirits and hopes are high and are minds are focussed on driving 8000+ miles and praying for our health and our poor car. We’ll keep you posted of our travel adventures. Hopefully we’ll make it through the trip without bopping each other! There is guaranteed to be lots of bickering and nagging.

Wishing you all wellness in your own Spring journeys! Please feel free to keep in touch by email.

Love, Ana and Isa
