A Tapestry Homestead

Standing...still

Thank you for your prayers.  They mean so, so much!

Well, we are in a house.  We are renting a lovely mobile home from the RV Park owner.  It sits on a hill at the end and just above the RV Park we moved from.  God has been very good in watching over us.  The children are doing well and adjusting to the recent move.  Only last week we rented the moving van to get everything out of storage buildings.  Although we moved in on January 13, we had to wait a bit before finally retrieving our belongings due to weather and finances.  I'm still unpacking boxes!

Homeschooling is going much better as you can imagine - being able to spread out more.  The pets are even with us again!  What a joy that brought to the children!  (and to the pets, I believe) 

Being able to cook again for the family with a real oven...  and (oh!) a real bathroom with a normal size shower - what a blessing!  I want to go back and invite all my old RV neighbors over for a thanksgiving dinner!  I just want to open it up to them to have a place to come and rest and feel "normal" if only for a while.  But then, I remember that RV life IS normal to most of them.  And what I now have is considered for the rich.  We are far from that, but the truth remains. 

Kerry and I are considering starting a Bible study and posting it on the message board of the RV Park.  I have no idea how many would come.  And, we wonder how safe it would be.  We so want to share our blessing with someone else in need.  Perhaps God will show us how to serve best.

Time for bed.  Besides the move, we recently found out our oldest daughter will be getting married in June.  (gasp!)  "What?  My baby getting married??  But, it seems she just left the nest! "   I wring my hands and pace the floor.   How can I be the mother of the bride down here when she's up there?  So much to do here.  So much to do there.   And the 4th adds another year to my life!  Another year? Already?  (more pacing... more wringing of hands...)  Oh my!  Look at the time! One o'clock a.m. and my in-laws are coming tomorrow!  What was that I need to remember?...

Be still.  Be still and know that I am God.    Psalm 46:10  

(Sigh)

Standing... still,

-Until next time

Having been through many seasons, and grown from each one it is encouraging to hear about God working through them in others.
