Alaska at Last! (Part 2)

I wish I could have a picture from each mountain that we passed, but there were hundreds of them, and each spectacular in their own way. Besides that, there were lots of pictures I missed out on because we were in a moving vehicle and the scenery changes so quickly at 50-60 mph. Here are a handful of them anyway. :)

 

There you go! That was a long post, but it still feels like I left out so much. Honestly though, I wouldn't know how to put much more of it into words. This has been an enormous transition for us and there is still more going on and waiting for us yet.

Thank you all so much for your prayers for our safety! Jonathan and I are just in awe of the way God has taken care of us and provided for our trip. For an adventure like this, you prepare for the worst and hope fervently for better, but this one went absolutely ideally!! We couldn't have even hoped for it to go so smoothly, for our truck to perform better, to have such wonderful weather, good company, encouragement and support from so many people. 

Right now, our blog has had around 950 pageviews since we left Georgia. I can't tell you how encouraging it is for us to read your comments, know that you still think about us and pray for us. 

We feel very far away from home, we feel our youth, our inexperience and our weakness, but the wonderful part of that is how it helps us feel our absolute dependence on God. It was God who held our overloaded truck together over 4,700 miles through the Rocky Mountains without any breakdowns, it was God who gave us grace to handle miscommunications, stress, grumpiness, and homesickness without turning around (yes, that thought did cross my mind a few times). ;)

God has shown us every step of the way that He is leading us and we are thrilled to be on this amazing adventure!
