God's Timeline

Well, an offer has been made on the house. Because of our situation, we don't even have to worry, it goes straight to the bank. So that is the nice part. It does take time and I am thankful for the family that put the offer in, that they are so kind to be patient. We are so thrilled. I am praying it goes quickly so that we can go ahead and find the area we would like to rent in.

The kids are awesome!! I can't believe that Mady turned one and is such a joy. She is so sweet. She has moved into the room with Hunter. They really are so sweet to one another. Hunter has been with his dad now for 2 weeks and he seems to be doing really well. We have been really doing well. School is taking a lighter version as I learn some more and change again our style of learning and schedule to fit the changing needs of our growing family.

Bret is still taking his CPA class and all is going well. It has been quite a journey as we come over to Phoenix every weekend so that way we can be close. The girls have been enjoying swimming all day on Saturday. I have been enjoying laying out and getting a little color. :) Bret really loves that.

I started a Bible study with my friends, Beth Moore's, "The Ascent of Psalms." So far, because we are only one week into it, it is very good. It talks about song and how we truly rejoice in songs. Our souls were created to the angels singing, so it would be natural that songs/music could encompass our being in a way that words can't. But to be careful to know the words you are listening to. Whether contemporary Christian or good old fashion hymns. So far, the one thing I got out of it, was how God is always so pleased and rejoicing when we are taking steps of success to being closer to him. It has been a great encouragement.

Summer has been going, we are slowly starting to pack and I am starting with the garage. That is a challenge. I am really just enjoying hanging out with my girls and starting to revamp our learning style.

God bless to you all. Have a blessed week.

Way too long...

Well, life is full of many surprises. Especially when you are serving an Awesome God! I never know the full plan of my life, but I know that I am a servant for the Lord first and foremost. And when the chaos of life throws itself at me, well, I know where I stand...most days.

It seems that Hunter has gone to live with his dad for the summer on a trial period. The joy that has filled our home has been immense. For those that aren't divorced or in a situation of shared parenting, it is hard to understand this decision. Hunter, it seems has a syndrome..."the grass is greener". So we let him experience with a little net of security. He may choose to be there permanently, but I am at peace with where the Lord has taken this situation.

Another bend in the road has been that we have to short sell our home. It wasn't planned at all, but with a loss in some income for my husband, it seems to be our only option. We knew when we purchased this home that we should rent, but rather than listen, we are now eating our consequences. :) But the Lord has been good and it was on the market for less than 2 days there was a offer. A wonderful family with three boys. Our backyard will be perfect for them.

We will look for an option to rent only and hopefully something a lot less than our mortgage and start paying down our debt. That is our number one priority. If we really buckle down we can do it in 2 years!! I am so excited.

Along with this move, we may put the internet back in the home. Not quite for sure, but maybe on my phone. :)

The kids are doing great and Mady's first birthday was yesterday! I cannot believe it. She is a miracle and I am so thankful for the Lord's blessing our family.

So here we are, the short version. Perhaps later I will write more in detail.
