Believe it or not, I am writing this in my parents upstairs bedroom. Well, I guess it is my bedroom now, since my family of six have accepted their gracious offer to move in and get back on our feet. We are entering week 4 here and so far all has not been smooth sailing... But, I think that things will get better once the chaos has settled down (as much as it can in house with 8 people living in it)! Mom and Dad have decided to finish the attic room to add another bedroom for us and enclose the garage to add a family room. So, to sum it up, the 6 of us moved in during the midst of remodeling and the start of a new school with 2 housefuls of stuff! And we still have things that we haven't moved yet. This really makes me realize that we have to much stuff!!! Even after downsizing considerably we are still bursting at the seams. Yardsale here I come!
A big blessing since the move has been the big girls adjustment to their new school. This was something I worried and fretted over needlessly. Why can I not keep the faith that God IS in control and has everything UNDER control? Keri-lyn has a teacher that loves to read and Jaycee's parapro is a member of our church! Layna has been excited to "homeschool" with me and Micah is more spoiled than ever. All in all, I just want to thank the Lord that in the midst of our struggles he has provided over and over again for us in countless ways and continues to do so every day of our lives. Thank you Jesus!
It will get better. Don't forget that you were unable to move your stuff in sooner because I was sick...It seems like everything came crashing down at once. I love you!
