    Good to see you! Glad you’re better and family seems to help. Yes, I’m 63, getting divorced and moving on my own in a month. Very very scary to me but God is with me and I will be alright. Moving 45 yrs of stuff, out of an old run down house is gonna be hard, but I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!!

    It's great to see you feeling refreshed and doing whatever you enjoy. Stability can be found in multiple places; you adapt and your faith plays a vital role in all you do. I know, I share the same faith. I have followed van life of many people for a long time so I learned a lot especially from your collaberations with other van lifers. You have a UA-cam following that are genuinely invested in your well being and that is awesome; peace and happiness to you!

    Allison, God has blessed you with an amazing sense of humour and comic timing. These gifts are the divine way of connecting and empowering. Your original videos about camping used to spread more smiles, I believe. Glad you're back.
    Keep triggering laughters and spreading knowledge.

    I'm currently debating if i keep my apartment or go back to suv life full time. God will guide my direction. I would stay local and still work full time but just live in my 4 runner. I feel like i was truly happy living that lifestyle but it also makes me nervous getting rid of my apartment incase next winter is really bad. 😂🤷‍♀️

    So happy for you. We’ve been following you since you and your dad were building out your van. My son lives in McKinney with his family. We visit three or four times a year. Would love to grab lunch or coffee when we come out early March if you are home then. Take care. Praying for good things for you. I’m so happy you have a home base so if you choose not to travel you don’t feel like you have no place to be. Brenda

      Jesus is God. He said He is the way, the truth and the life, and that no one comes to the Father except through Him. He was the lamb slain before the foundation of the world. He took on all of your sin debt, and mine. His blood washes you clean. He gives peace and joy.
      I hope you will read the Bible , which was written by many prophets, inspired by the Holy Spirit, and meet the real Jesus, not Isa.
      Jesus is coming back soon.
