Isaiah 28: 9-10 “Whom will he teach knowledge? And whom will he make to understand the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just drawn from the breasts? For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little.”

It's been a real mess around here, trying to de-junk and box up all the non-essentials.  I'm trying to be orderly about it, but with children dragging stuff from one room to another, it's not easy.  I've just accepted that some things will just have to wait until the new house to get in order. 

I'm keeping out the books and workbooks we are on currently, but I have been so busy I have yet to do any real teaching the past week and a half.  But I hold out hope that I will sneak a couple of weeks of school in there somewhere between houses, so I keep our books unpacked and bagged in their home. 

As for finding a house, we found one we really love, but we have to wait and see if we're preapproved and if they accept our offer, etc.  So, we would love to get it if everything works out, but it still up for grabs.  Please be praying for us!  We would really love this home if we got it.  It's the size I want--cozy one story--and has a huge yard with a fence, it's got a big driveway and get this, it backs up to a ranch where horses come up to the fence!!  Oh, I might just cry if we don't get it.  But I know that God is in control, and that if we're meant to have it, we will. 

But I am very motivated right now to get all this packing and cleaning done, so as not to miss out on the opportunity if possible.  If not, I know God will have something else that's just perfect for us. 

Another thing to be praying for us about is for our house to sell quickly.  We're not very worried about that, but it's still something to pray about.  Every townhome where we live has sold in less than 3 months of being on the market.  However, not many people are doing contingencies right now because of the economy.  And even though the house market is in our favor, that still makes it difficult to move.  We might be stuck with two house payments at the same time until ours sells, or have to bunk with someone if ours sells faster than we can get into something else.  I would hope it would work out where it was a smooth transition, so please be praying a lot for us. 

I'll be keeping you updated as we know anything knew!
