Moving

Moving is never simple.  Moving with kids is definitely not simple.  It seemed like we were packing for weeks, because we were.  I couldn't pack during the day because I had way to much "help" and I couldn't pack at night because I had a colicky newborn.  So, it went on for weeks.

The boys love adventure and new things.  They have been so excited to pack up and start the moving process.  Here they are helping Zack load up the van with boxes.


Oops...a little mishap.


Trying again.



So, where are we now?  We turned in the keys to our apartment of 3 yrs last Wednesday.  We are now all in AR and then going on vacation with Zack's family.  We are waiting.  Waiting for a job.  Waiting to see where we will be next.  All our belongings are in storage.  We'll be house sitting for a few weeks when we get back to Austin.  It's been strange not having an address.  Last week was hard.  Just trying to take it one day at a time.  Learning to be grateful.  Learning to live by faith and not by sight, which is easier said that done.  Learning what it means to truly persevere in prayer.  Trying to embrace the adventure of the next couple months, instead of falling into self-pity.

"Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen." Eph 3:20

  3. Hey, we're about to enter the same stage. Except we have a job. Anyhow, we're moving, not sure where we'll end up and where we'll live in the meantime but I've learned from my stint in Dallas that the present struggle is for my good so I might as well embrace it. I'll be thinking of you as we pack up and put things in storage and live wherever we're planted.
