Be Strong and Courageous

We are 24 hours away from closing on our new home!!!! For that I am extremely excited. It is the tension of packing and cleaning and stayng on top of 5 kids and the household of 9 that is wearing on my soul a bit. I have to laugh at yesterdays mishaps and conundrums and just move on with the morning. I would like to sit and watch Martha and sip on a good cup of Starbucks, but the baby needs her bottle and the 2 preschoolers are running - RUNNING around like little chickens with their heads cut off, but wait their heads must be attatched with the noise level coming out of their mouths. I wish I could send them out for some play tme but it is only like 45 degrees and just about to rain. Well off I go to back up a few things in the garage I have an hour before Martha, and I really do want that coffee. God has been good to keep us all healthy these last few days and with moving everything this weekend we need all the strength He can give us. Blessings of health to all.

This has been the longest winter of my life, and I been through some winters. I know that God was preparing me for this journey and strengthens me everyday. Not that by anymeans I am perfect in my response to the everyday that gets thrown my way, but knowing God Has a plan that involves life lessons I never thought I would encounter. I am thankful to my friends who have prayed and leant a hand and had the right words of encouragement along this path. As we prepare to move, literally and figurativeley into a new phase of life, I am thankful to God for the provisions of all things.
