It's about time

Jun. 7, 2008

Last weeks with our dad, family photo and the latest developments in our lives

I can't believe it's been so long since my last post.  Life has gotten way hectic around here. Now, with the ball season behind another busy season took the torch. 
My husband has quit his job and took another one working overseas 8 weeks on and 2 at home. He has one more week with us before leaving for training and then leaving overseas for 8 weeks. We still don't know where he is going first.  He thought Panama where he could bring us all for a few weeks but he got clearances for totally different countries.  SO, I guess we'll have to wait and see. 
Since it's one of the longest times we've lived in one place straight (17 months) and the city we live in has grown so much on us, all the kids voted they wanted to stay here instead of going back to the woods of KY. My bil's famiy won't be there either, nor our other friends, so we'd be on a hill in the boonies all by ourselves.  After a very full social life we all agreed it'd be hard to be so isolated.   We've made good friends and know our way around the area pretty well. We have till December of this year to lease the house or find subleasers and free to move wherever we please.  We put word out for subleasing but nothing. So, it might be His will for us to stay a while longer in thise house till something transpires.
We've been toying with the idea of buying in this area instead of continuing paying rent. The last 2 weeks have been filled with www searching, realtor ems and house viewings. I am sure there are many of you out there who have gone thru this process. It's tiring and sometimes disapointing.  Especially, when the price is not lining up with the house one likes, huh?  Please, pray for our family as we decide on the right house to purchase or what is our next step if we aren't supposed to buy yet.  I don't care what it is as lond as we hear God and stay in His perfect will.  But I want to know and hear HIM clearly.  Beyond any doubt!  I want us both to know, not guess, not assume, but KNOW!
Pray for dh's safe travels please.  I could use some prayer on having peace especially at nite.  I do not like being in the house without him, even if the kids are with me. HE left for a few days to visit a friend and I am not looking forward to another night without him.  He hasn't left for 8 weeks yet and I am already fretting!  Oh, how dependent we become! Please, pray for me to be more dependant on Jesus. 
Thanks so much for all your prayers, Bless y'all in the wonderful name of Jesus. Here is the latest pic of our family taken by a great friend I met here.  Thank you, Amanda! I l love this picture

That is a beautiful picture!
I will certainly be praying for wisdom and discernment to know what God's perfect will is for your family during this time, and also that His peace will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus while your husband is away! Those times of separation can be so challenging, but they can also be wonderful times of dependency on the Lord, since our husbands aren't there for us to depend upon.

Very cute picture. It's hard with Dad away. My husbands out of town this week and we're certainly not used to it, my heart goes out to you.
