YES!! We are moving A-G-A-I-N!!! Yippee!!
We moved earlier this year into what we thought was going to be our home for the rest of our days, but God has a way of showing us what He really wants for us. Certain circumstances changed our plans for purchasing the house we're in now and we have purchased the property behind us, along with a cute little mobile home instead. It is the piece I've always admired and thought was so beautiful. It overlooks some of the most gorgeous land in the area.
We wouldn't know what to do if everything was "PREDICTABLE"!! We have been taking it one day at a time, trusting the Lord every step of the way. Here's what it looked like this morning. We went out to check on the surveyors while they were marking the property!!! I'm so excited!! If only I could share it all on here...but it would take a while to post.
We are still having Christmas here in the house where we are now, but we are doing a little packing too. I've got all my kitchen items that aren't needed right now, put into boxes. I've gone through all the closets and sorted the clothes that the kids have outgrown. Went through all my homeschool things and gave away or ebay'd what I'm not needing any time soon. My husband, children and I spent a day last week sorting the huge utility room. Thank the Lord!! I'm so so so glad that is done. Now, I can move and not have to sort and unpack and decorate. We won't be actually moving until AFTER Christmas day. Probably before January 1st!! I hope so!! I just can't wait to share it all!! I'm amazed how God is doing this. A few months ago, I didn't even see anything and I was having a VERY hard time of it. A very hard time. I was worried about myself and wondered how I could ever have doubt. But I did have doubt. And now I know that trusting God is more that just faith and believing. It is allowing the actual PATIENCE of God to REMAIN...in me.
I stand here with hands outstretched and asking..."Where next, dear Jesus, where next?" I'll go.

you will still have plenty of room for a garden this spring! Love all that land! What a great way to start a new year! With a new home! Good for you guys!
Amen. I am so thankful to see Him moving in your lives in this way. He is an awesome God!
I am sitting here reading your post and all that I can think of is "Wow,Praise the Lord!" I have been praying for you often and am so extremely excited for you all. I love how transparent you have been and want to cry b/c you are so right about having His peace in you. It seems like the people with the closest walk with the Lord seem to have the biggest trials and tests...look at Job. I cannot wait to hear what else the Lord is doing with His family in Alabama! God bless you richly, Sis! The Lord has great things in store for you and your family. Tammy A.

Thank you to my Godly friends who life us up in prayer. We don't even want to think where we'd be w/o you.
