So our house still has not sold. It has been 15 months now and every time the end seems in sight something comes up to delay the closing. Reflecting back on this time I realize that the traditional definition of stability does not apply to us. I believe that we are a stable family and yet financially we don't fit any definition of stable. How do I reconcile that? Beer. Just kidding. It is so easy to find stability in things like health, homes, clothes or food but even though those are essential, are they truly stable? I have to answer no because I have been sick, homeless, naked and hungry which proves that traditional stability will fail me and leave me floundering. There has to be something that will not falter or waver. What we build our hopes and dreams upon has to be something that us unchanging and solidly foundational. Hopes and dreams do not grow if at times their roots are pulled out of the ground and tossed around forcing us to start over. That is cyclical living and I believe we are meant to be on a journey that goes somewhere and does not end up back where we started.
