Catching up!

I apologize for being MIA recently. This has been an interesting year for our family. My husband lost his job in September. That was the day our life turned upside down and you can read about the day he lost his job here. But God was teaching us to trust, obey and PRAY. You can read about that journey at this post.. I mean its been 9 months you may need to catch up!
 
The hubs loves his job. We knew taking this job we may have to make some cut backs and some sacrifices but it was going to be worth it for the opportunity and peace. I keep telling him I really didn't like him the last few years of his last job and I like him so much better now. Its a good change!
 
We explained to the kids early on that there might be a move happening. They had a million question. And at some point I told them that there was going to have to be more questions than answers.
 As a family we were going to trust that God would let us know what we were going to do and how it was going to get done. If we were to move HE would open the doors and close the necessary doors. Easy peasy! HA!
 
So come spring we called the realtor. She had been with us for the buying/selling of our previous house 14 yrs. ago and the buying of this house 7 yrs. ago. Yes that's right we move EVERY 7 years it seems. We jokingly told her that we had high expectations since she sold our other house in a week and a half.
 
People this house was on the market for 3 days! At the end of the 3rd day we had 3 offers. NO JOKING! We were able to accept an offer OVER the asking price. God is good in so many ways!
 
Now this process hasn't been all rainbows and roses but we know God's got this and we are going to trust that all the details get worked out. We will be moving in a few days. To a new city, school and neighborhood. We found a house only 8 minutes from daddy's work. His first job his commute was 45 minutes on a good day and this job was 30 minutes. We are in desperate need of some daddy time. God is providing that for us! PRAISE GOD!

A JOURNEY OF THE HEART

"No NO No NO NO No!" That was a recent entry into my journal. I was asked to do something that I without a shadow of a doubt knew it was God asking me to do it. AND I DIDN'T WANT TO! I literally followed it with 2 pages of ME telling God why I didn't want to do it and why I couldn't do it. Yes 2 pages.  Wow! I strapped on my toddler attitude and went to town. *Flashback to 1 month ago* Child #1's Kindergarten teacher, Kara,  also  attends the church we attend and we occasionally see each other at the same service. Well, one particular evening we got to talking and she asked me to join our church's version of VBS. We go to the west side {off campus} of town to the Somalian population and do a day time VBS and lunch for these kids for an entire week. Cool part, my own kids can come and be apart of the "missions trip."  What an invaluable a lesson to my kids to show love to others! Kara is heading crafts and wanted me to craft it up with her. ...

serving with a grateful heart

1 Peter 4:10 "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." This year my little gang of cheerios and I have been working on being intentional about serving. To be honest for a long time the excuses of having to many littles was beginning to wear thin. Now I have been looking for opportunities that my littles could easily accomplish. Yesterday, we attended a Lenten service at our church. It was a beautiful Prayer walk. We walked through stations, preparing our hearts for this season of Lent. It was a perfect activity for our family to do together. In the Lenten study package was The Names of God Bible reading challenge . I am really thrilled to focus in on the Names of God for this season. Preparing my heart for the Easter season. So today, the sanctuary needed cleaned. All the stations needed put back in the closets and offices that they were borrowed from. Little ...
