The land is drawing me closer

This may seem like a peculiar title for what I'm about to say. I recently took a new job in Iowa and have moved the family. We're in the process of finishing up our house to sell. We're living in an apartment across the street from my office. It's wonderful, as it allows me to spend more time at home and pop back home as my schedule allows.

HOWEVER, it put us 1 hour further from our land. Now it's about 2 hours away. But, having lived downtown, close to work, we've come to love the time it frees up for our family and the savings it reaps. We sold the extra car and we hardly ever drive the van.

But, what with the land? Our hope/plan is to soon buy a nice camper suitable for our family and move it to our land. We then hope to spend much of the spring/summer/fall there, where I can work remotely quite a bit and travel back to IA as needed. As a family we will blend our work with play and enjoy the "lazy days of summer" people talk of in days gone by.

We continue to put our trust in the Lord that we will be led to Emmaus.
