We are the Strickland family.
Jonathan, Elise, Solveig and Lincoln. We're throwing comfortable out the window and learning the hard way to live life for a Purpose. Our life may be pretty chaotic, but it's all in the Plan…
As high school sweethearts we married very young. But we did the responsible thing, graduated from college, bought a house, started successful careers, waited to have a baby until we had money. It was only when those things were taken away that we realized how little control we really have. Now we've been redirected away from the life we so carefully planned and into medical missions. Poverty, uncertainty, and all things crazy are our norm now. We used to joke that, for a while there, we felt just like Dan Akroyd's character in Trading Places. But we also think our experiences have made us tenacious and resilient. We have become so filled with hope, because we're starting to realize that God's plan is always going to be awesome. We are ready for the ride!
