Come on in!
Well, Hi there neighbor. Maybe you havn’t noticed but our whole lives have been in an upheaval the last 2 months. I know you all have been losing sleep at night due to our families displacement. You will be happy to know we are settled nicely into the new space that God has so graciously provided for us. I’ve kind of missed you but my computer has a deadly virus and I am about to throw it away and say they heck with it so my online time is nill to say the list
My stress fracture is healing away, and is barely painful except when I do too much and our homeschool is back on track and flourishing in our new conditions. I will say that, I could not of even thought of how perfectly this house fits our families needs. It is always mind blowing how God does what he does when you throw you hands up in the air. There is too much to this deliverance story for me to type here in this one small space, but rest assured that I wake up daily, and go to sleep nightly with a song of thanksgiving on my heart. I actually cried when I heard we would get this house.
I have NEVER been unloaded and unpacked as quickly in all our 11 moves as I have in this house. Maybe something about being on one level and having storage space has something to do with it. I do have curtians and a few more pictures to hang but other then that, I can put my finger on everything I need. Isn’t that amazing? In one week. God is so good and I have had so many dear friends pitch in to help me out. Maybe it is because they couldn’t stand my whining any longer, or maybe they just love me. This whole move has solidified to me my love language as “acts of service”. Tell me you love me by helping me out. I have some people who REALLY love me.
Here is our family room and the piano is finally tuned and ready for some lessons with a much better curriculum solution. The one I started with we all hated, so we stopped. Now that it is tuned and I like the new curriculum, we are starting again. I leave The Art of God book open to different pages every day. My kids just sit and stare at the beautiful images contained within that book. They typically play a little tune as they do. Isn’t that sweet? Our family room is cozy and bright and looks out onto a lake. A LAKE…What the HECK! I would of been fine…FINE I TELL YOU with a yard but a yard and a view it just overwhelming. I would of been more then fine but this house has a living room too. I don’t even know what to do with a living room. We have lived in tiny town-homes with one space for eating and living for the past 8 years. I am kind of lost with this place.
We don’t even have enough furniture to fill it. It is like a big bowling alley that the kids run their cars on. I am sure there will be more pics to come, as our life grows into this new space. We just have the space to invite more and more people into our lives. That is what a house is for you know…..letting people in. So, now I will sign off a little embarrassed at the house we have been given. I almost hide my eyes when friends walk in and gasp. I tell them it was God. I swear I didn’t’ have ANYTHING to do with this one and I must say I kind of like it that way. Thanks to all our dear family and friends who helped us arrive here. We did not do this alone. This is your house too. Our doors are always open, stop on by, I will have a nice refreshing drink waiting for you!
Grace and Peace to all of you waiting…rest assured He will deliver you in His good and complete ways!
