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.  

Matthew 6:25-34

2 AM Musings

I have been wide awake since before 2 AM. Wide eyed and well, not so bushy tailed. This is the second day in a row. Why?  No really, why? This is the second day in a row my brain refuses to turn off for longer than a few hours. It's like half my brain wants to party and the logical side knows this is not a good thing.    As a mom of three on the first day of a new school year I am sitting in the family room in the dark thinking of all the things I can't do right now. I am also lamenting summer. Today summer break officially ends. At least I am up in time to get the kids to school.   I am not excited for today. It has a few milestones that we can not put off. I will not drive to the elementary school for the first time in eight years. I will be dropping my youngest off at middle school and my oldest at the high school. Also the middle child decided to go back to school so I will not be homeschooling this year.   In a few hours my kids will wake up and ...

Queen of Google

Day in and day out I am frustrated with myself because I didn't take the time to write.  I want to write but I find myself not writing anything but thinking about writing.  I love to read and make time for reading but I find myself often just thinking about writing and not actually writing.   I am not sure what will ever motivate me to write daily.  Being a mom to three tween/teens in a huge job.  Especially when one is being homeschooled this year.  I find myself saying things like, when the dishes are done or when the laundry is done then I will write.  Just let me check all this school work first and then I will write.  When it is quiet, I will write.  This could be why I never write.  It is never quiet in this house.   Today I have had enough.  I am not about new year resolutions but I am going to make the commitment today to write daily.  I ideally would like to write not just for the blog but novel writing. ...

Happy New Year!

Happy Anniversary to my parents that got married today many moons ago. Congratulations for over 30 years of marital bliss.   Updates... I know why you should have a realtor.  Too many emotions.  The people that looked out our house put it in their top 3 choices and today they go back to their other 2 choices.  We will see what happens.  I feel a low offer coming our way, if we get an offer at all.     Do you know how much work it is to keep a house walk thru ready?  I feel like we worked all day to get out for an hour and then we came home and trashed the place.     Tomungus, Nathan's new word.  What it means I'm not quite sure, but he thinks it is funny.  He says humongous and ginormous a lot so I think he just said one wrong.   The veggie garden is growing wild. We have tiny tomatoes, squash, zucchini and broccoli. I kinda hope we can get some veggie before we move.  If not I will have to start another garden the kids love it and it keeps them busy watering it.  Playing in  w...
