Well, it's getting late, and I know some of you are wondering what happened with the house today. Well, we haven't heard anything yet. I've called a couple of times, and our friends aren't home yet. So, since it's almost 8:30pm our time, I'm guessing we won't hear anything tonight. But the fact that she hasn't called yet to say that they have paid, is good news. So all we can do is wait. We had a rain/snow mix for our weather today, so I never made the long drive to look at the houses. The drive out here can become dangerous quickly, during the winter months they actually close the highway when it gets real bad. So, since it wasn't a necessity, and Paul really doesn't like me making the drive in this kind of weather if I don't have to, I didn't go. I'm feeling like I'm getting a cold, so going out in damp, cold weather wasn't what I really wanted to do anyway. So I guess it's more patience training for me.
Not much else happened today. We did pack a few boxes from Paulie's room. But every time I really started going, I got real tired. Like I said, I think I'm getting a cold. Plus, Paul said not to push myself to much today. It's nice that the weekend is here. Our time together has been real short lately. He has to leave so early, and gets back late, then has to go to bed early to get up the next morning. But it's Friday night, no early wakeup tomorrow, so we are enjoying a nice MLB playoff game, and just relaxing tonight.
Thank you all for your continued prayers. I'll try to keep you all updated when we hear something. We'll either be packing tomorrow, or prayerfully, going and looking at the house and signing some papers. But it's all in the Lord's hands and though I'm not excited to keep having to wait, I am trying to wait patiently. I think now that Paul is home, it will be easier. I'll try to write more soon.
The wait will be worth it. As His word says, "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." (Is 40:31)
Praying faithfully for you all. Hope you are feeling better.

I hope you enjoy your weekend together whatever you end up doing. My vote would be for going to look at the house. I love doing that sort of thing. Plus, you might get a Starbucks out of it! :D
I bet you're exhausted from all that packing. I'm glad you all got to just relax a little last night. Hopefully you will get a call this morning about the house. Continued prayers!
Will the caretakers of the new house need to clean carpet or paint first before you move in if you get it? Hope to see pictures when you have a for sure place to call home in your new little town.
