We’re HEEEERE! Where, exactly, is here? The Lord has given us an amazing oasis in the midst of this crazy world all the way in Machiasport, Maine. As we drove around the “city” (think small town), we were awestruck by its quaintness. Of course, there are a few chain restaurants (Dunkin Donuts, Subway, McDonalds), but we mostly saw locally owned cafes, shops, and restaurants. I had the opportunity to sit outside their grocery store while Chris ran in to get some of the essentials, and it seemed like everyone stopped to talk to someone coming or going. I LOVE IT! It’s like Ruston on steroids.

Now…it’s time to let the pictures do the talking.

After 5 full days of driving, we FINALLY made it to Maine!

Seafood and ice cream seem to be the two biggest food groups. KK loves the shrimp, and Hannah loves the ice cream 🙂

The Lighthouses here are spectacular! We ended up seeing Portland Headlight, which was a total “chance happening.”

 

As you can see, God has been so good to us. We are incredibly thankful for our time away from the norm and look forward to all God has in store for us as we seek Him. Now that we are here and getting settled, please pray that we use our time wisely. Pray we rest when we need to rest, play when we need to play, and learn whatever God desires to teach us. It’s not a coincidence that the Lord brought us out to the middle of nowhere this summer. He’s got some big plans for us, and we don’t want to miss it.

Thank you for praying us here!
