What Have We Been Up To??

We are here!  We are moved in!

I thought by now I would have all the boxes unpacked.  That's not the case, but we have a home that's livable!  Most of the unpacked boxes are contained in the garage, so we feel at home.  I unpacked two boxes today, went to flatten the second box, found a spider, and stopped...decided that's enough for today.  

The girls have stopped almost quit telling me they miss the old house.  Upon the first week here, we put the girls in bed.  My oldest daughter was in the top bunk and got a little teary-eyed.  She told me she missed our old house and asked if we would be building a house one day.  I told her that we would love to.  She then asked if we could build it just like the house we used to live in.  They are growing to love our new home, however, and only once have I heard in the past 2-3 weeks that they miss it.  

We have figured out FaceTime and Tango and have been able to see our family back home which has been a huge blessing.  It almost feels like we are there!

So, just what have I been up to??  Well, we have been enjoying our new location!  Where we moved from, we had...a Wal-Mart.  We are now enjoying all the new amenities (There is a Target!)

We make weekly trips to the public library, which is AMAZING I may say!  

The girls have been enjoying living near their cousins!

They have also been to bible school (with the cousins, of course!).

We spent a wonderful day with Daddy on Father's Day (ate at a great Italian restaurant!!)

And we have been playing!  Making things, doing crafts, reading books, and making things out of boxes!  We have plenty of those by the way...

The Lord continues to bless our family.  He has led us to a church that we enjoy and is like-minded.  We miss our old church family terribly, and I mean terribly...but, we enjoy where He is placing us.  

My husband and I are like newly-weds again.  We haven't laughed and had this much fun in a while.  The Lord is also blessing our marriage, and I am very grateful!

We continue to pray about our home that we own back home.  I ask that you pray for us as well.  I know God will relieve us of this burden, but at the same time we have to wait on Him!

Wait on the Lord;

Be of good courage,

And He shall strengthen your heart;

Wait, I say, on the Lord!

I think if David could pray this when 'false witnesses have risen against me, and such as breathe out violence', surely I can pray this about our home.
