Years ago, Karen's dad was trying to make a decision on a matter that was going to impact not only himself, but most of the family, as well. He kept delaying the decision and at times changed his decision from what he had previously told us. We were all frustrated by his indecision, and we finally needed a definitive answer so we could plan accordingly. His next statement summed up the situation perfectly: "It's not that I'm indecisive, I just can't make up my mind." Yogi Berra would have been proud, or maybe jealous.
I now empathize with Woody's dilemma. Karen and I have not been able to come to a definite decision on our planned departure from Madison, the route we are going to take, and whether we go to Arkansas by way of The Ark in Kentucky, or go directly to Arkansas. We have been weather-watching and while the past two days have been gorgeous, the next week is fraught with weather fronts and colder weather here, at The Ark and at Eureka Springs also. So we sit where we are, have started the travel preparations, are now "settled" on leaving Monday for Arkansas with a short stop somewhere in between, but not sure where that stop will be since the weather on most planned routes looks cold with increasing storm chances.
The good thing about our plans, is that ultimately it's God's plan when to "lift the cloud" and where He leads that determines when and where we go. Without a timetable and an itinerary of our own, we'll trust Him to guide us. It's certainly been a great journey, so far.
