Thank you God for helping my kids sleep. I know that everyone's minds are racing and unable to focus. Tomorrow is the big day when we move into "the BIG House" as Luke calls it--not sure if he thinks we are moving into a big house, wishes it was a big house or wants to live in UM stadium.
We have stayed in 4 different places in less than a week. We can't find anything. We all want to just have a spot and not feel like we need to move.
These last few weeks have made us all think about what we "really" need in life. I now know that I can simplify to a greater extent when we unpack boxes. We did get rid of lots and lots of things when we found out we were moving but now I know what I need. As I go along in life I want to remember this time and continue to re-evaluate how much I need.
By this time tomorrow I hope to be cooking up something wonderful for dinner--our "kitchen" in the hotel has 2 burners--only ONE works. I hope to be watching the kids explore the new backyard. I hope we can all discover our own spots in the new house. I pray that my house will become a home, a sanctuary and a welcoming place to all who enter.
I pray for patience. I know that I will want it all done now.
God thank you for this awesome opportunity to serve you in ways that are obvious and in ways that you have yet to reveal.
