Changes

Well, I guess I better give an update, as I'm realizing quite a few people still think we are leaving within a week as we had been planning to. There have been some changes in our plans-not totally unexpected,  yet not what we had been hoping for. As some of you know, Jay has been having a lot of shoulder pain and has been off regular work since January. He had a partially torn rotator cuff. The Dr. kept saying it will heal on its own with time. A lot of his pain did leave when he got rid of the inflamation, but his strength was not there, and he still had some pain. When he went to the Dr. several weeks ago he told Jay, "Well, it's 3 months now so we can talk about surgery now." Great! They could have done it 3 months ago! Jay will need to do therapy for at least a month. He had his surgery April 23, and his first therapy session was yesterday. 

Two days after we found out he's having surgery we found out the closing date for our home will be towards the end of May instead of May first. We were  relieved, since now we won't have to stay in a campground around here for a whole month! I believe things will work out- just not quite the way we had planned, but that's okay. We don't have any reservations made anywhere. 

For those of you who don't know, we were planning to travel East first, then come back to IN for Jr. Youth Camp at the end of June. After camp, we are planning to travel West. We may not be able to do our whole Eastern trip, but hopefully we'll be able to do some of it. If not we will be disappointed, but we are all more excited about the western trip anyway. 

I would just ask that you would pray for complete healing for Jay's shoulder, and also that God would give us patience during this time. It is especially hard for Jay not to be able to use his arm much. He had to start back on light duty today- a week after his surgery, which I think is ridiculous, but you gotta do what workers comp. says. I'm just thankful that they're covering it. 

God Bless!

Last Month Of Normal Life

Greetings from the Miller family! We are a family of 6 who are about to venture on a journey of faith. The plan is to go RV-ing around the country for a year or so. We are planning to leave during the first half of May. We have had many questions since people found out what we are planning to do. Some of the main ones are what do the children say about it, and will you be working while you travel? To the first question, the children are excited, though a few of them are quite sad about being away from their friends for so long. The girls are also sad about quitting gymnastics-and I'm a little sad as well. They just had a meet yesterday at the YMCA and Janeva was happy to get 2nd place overall in her first time competing in Excel Silver level.
As for the second question, we don't have a job lined up, but we do own two homes we rent out that will hopefully supply over half of what we will be spending. We would love to find something we can do for some extra income while traveling. If you have any ideas let us know!
