Stepping Out In Faith

Mark is attending the Pastor's conference this week. Let me first say he doesn't feel lead to be a pastor. His band is playing late tomorrow afternoon at the conference and because he has the time right now he decided he would go for the whole conference. I am glad that he has the opportunity to go. It gave him something to do for a couple days.

I emailed a friend this morning and told her I hope he comes home renewed. When I talked to him tonight it sounded like he is being renewed and that is refreshing. We are at a cross road in our life, but things are moving SLOW. We know that God has a plan for us it just isn't crystal clear to us at the moment. Our faith is being tested daily.

We are living in perpetual limbo. It is hard because you are constantly questioning your purpose and you tend to want to do something to "fix" what seems wrong in your life. Even when it is totally out of your control. We can't fix the economy single handedly. I wish we could, but it will take a nation of people to spend some cash in order to get things moving.

Although we are in limbo a few things we are pretty confident about. One is the attempt to sell our house. We look at it like this, if we are meant to sell our house it will sell. On the other hand you can't sell your house unless it is for sale. Touché? So our house sits on the market.

The realtor emailed us at 6:30 and said that a caravan of realtors, 20 to 25 in number will be here anywhere from 10:30 to noon tomorrow. To that I say "of course Mark is out of town". I'm ready though. I feel like you have to come into our house to really appreciate what it has to offer. Half the battle is getting people here. A parade of realtors will be here tomorrow hopefully to help us find a buyer for this lovely abode. And if we sell...? We will cross that bridge when we get to it. We are stepping out in faith and we will go with the flow.

Lucky Saint Patrick's Day!

Ada you will love this... Madison loses her tooth yesterday on the way home from school. I am so excited, I take a picture as soon as she gets out of the van and post it everywhere and email it to family. I clean it off and put it in a zip lock (easier to find under the pillow, right?) and we tuck it under the pillow and we all, ALL fall asleep. Madison wakes up at 5:30 AM and says to me, "I can't see if the tooth fairy left me anything". PANIC stricken. I FORGOT THE TOOTH FAIRY JOB! Okay this is my only job on earth. I can't remember to exchange cash for a baby tooth. I send her to the couch and tell her it is too early that she has to try and go back to sleep. I grab Marks elbow and he says to me, "it is only 5:30". He was awake and heard her too. We both lay in silence for 30 minutes hoping she falls asleep. Funny thing is once we talked to each other thirty minutes later, both of us were in bed formulating a plan. He wanted to sneak out our

NaNoWriMo & Supplies

What do you really need for NaNoWriMo? I like using my Mac and Microsoft Word. It is that plain and simple. A computer, text editing program and time will get you 50,000 words. Some people do hand write their novel during NaNoWriMo, or so I hear. I know I will not hand write my novel. Then you have to count all those words. My fingers and hands can't do it. It is painful to type at times but hand writing is more painful to me. Plus, my procrastination side will never count handwritten words. I started to write this blog many hours ago (now yesterday). It also happens to be the weekend and my computer guy (by computer guy I mean my husband) decided to help me find some storage space on my hard drive today. I would love a new Mac Book Pro but that is not in the budget and I really don't have time to learn a new computer days before NaNoWriMo. About a week ago I started to get start up memory warnings on my computer. Not what a girl wants to see two weeks before

Mohawk!

Um, where to start? I went away for the weekend with girlfriends to get some R & R and scrapbook. Little did I know I was going to come home to a Mohawk. GO RAYS! I think Nathan is loving the attention that comes with such a dramatic do. I really can't believe Mark did such a crazy thing. I don't think anyone that saw Nathan at church could believe it either. For all you wondering, I love it and I will go away on another girls weekend. It's not like he gave all the kids a mohawk. The girls still have their lovely locks.
