Each stop in our journey shares two common themes: the first being that the fellowship was even sweeter than we hoped, full of encouragement in Lord and reminders of His faithfulness. The second? Each visit has come to an end far too quickly, no matter whether it lasted a pair of hours or several days. I do not suppose we really expected things to go any differently, but the reality of this truth has definitely hit home. Our days are full of both reunion&#8217;s joy and bittersweet farewells &#8216;until next time,&#8217; one after another in quick succession. Each coming-together is well worth this cost, and also quite tiring! Once again, God reminds us of the joy awaiting us when He brings all His promises to pass, and together in eternity with Jesus we bid farewell to the very concept of &#8216;goodbyes.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the calendar continues moving forward, we do feel the accumulation of time spent living out of suitcases. We had wonderful visits in each place <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/jordan-husband\/2025\/06\/14\/the-long-way-round-june-14\/\" title=\"The Long Way \u2018Round: June 14\">our last update<\/a> mentioned, then enjoyed stops with dear friends in both Illinois and Wisconsin as well. Most days, we find ourselves wanting to head to bed just a little earlier, and then to get up slightly later. Fortunately, our plans have often accommodated this need. However, a nasty cold has caught up with several of our kids, and we appreciate your continued prayer for our safety and good health in the travel ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"344\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/jordan-husband\/files\/2025\/07\/2025-summer-MwL-3-600x344.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/jordan-husband\/files\/2025\/07\/2025-summer-MwL-3-600x344.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/jordan-husband\/files\/2025\/07\/2025-summer-MwL-3-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/jordan-husband\/files\/2025\/07\/2025-summer-MwL-3-768x441.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/jordan-husband\/files\/2025\/07\/2025-summer-MwL-3-125x72.jpg 125w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/jordan-husband\/files\/2025\/07\/2025-summer-MwL-3-250x144.jpg 250w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/jordan-husband\/files\/2025\/07\/2025-summer-MwL-3-441x253.jpg 441w, https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/jordan-husband\/files\/2025\/07\/2025-summer-MwL-3.jpg 1045w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Our trip to-date:<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our summer odometer just broke 6,000 miles&#8230; and suddenly, that 10,000 mile estimate I&#8217;ve been throwing around seems slightly on the low side!
