This Crazy Life

Our lives have turned upside down or sideways or something. Needless to say, life has become a bit crazy.

Our house is on the market! The rooms have been purged of much "stuff" and for the most part it looks clean. The realtor actually was amazed at the transformation between Monday night and noon today (Thursday). The attics and closets still need a lot of attention, but those will be a bit easier. (I think.)

We actually already have a showing scheduled for Friday. I warned our realtor about the closets and she said it was fine, which was a HUGE relief to me. Now I will focus on cleaning instead of packing for a little bit. The kids are beginning to see just how OCD and perfectionistic their mother is when it comes to this kind of thing. I actually LOVE the way the house looks right now. It is clean and simple and without clutter. Maybe someday I will achieve that reality. HAHAHA!!!!

This week has also been crazy emotionally. Though we know without a doubt that we are following God's will for our lives, we are dealing more and more with the reality of saying "goodbye" to our family and friends as well as our home. It's tough!

We are so very thankful to God for His faithfulness. He has proven Himself to us over and over in this process in so many different ways. He clearly answered our prayers for discernment and clarity in the decision. He has worked in our children's lives to prepare them for this move and to create in them an excitement for this new adventure we are taking as a family. We know that God will not stop being faithful now, but that He will continue to give us clarity and wisdom. Our prayer is that we continue to walk in obedience. He is good ALL the time!
