Week One Done!

Yesterday we went to church at Warner Robins First Nazarene Church. Why do churches have to have such long names? Anyway, it was the same church we went to when we came in May, when we were house hunting. People are really nice there and they just got a new pastor, it was his second week. Which by the way we are STILL house hunting! Ug! Today we put an offer on a 3rd home. Who would have thought we would put 3 offers on 3 different houses in 3 weeks? It has great potential. A lot of room and a big lot. But it needs some work. It doesn't seem to have been kept up very well. We should know by tonight if the seller accepts it.

Yesterday was our anniversary also.... After church, we had lunch at Moe's then looked at more houses. We then came home and relaxed... First day we didn't swim! It started thunder and lightening so we didn't have a chance. Tim got take out from a rib place, it was good. And. Cheesecake for dessert. Tim got me these....

Today marks one week we've been in Georgia. I made my first trip to Walmart with 3 kids in tow, every mothers dream way to spend a couple hours. It has only been a week and I am tired of take out. Don't get me wrong, it's nice not cooking, especially when I have 3 pans, 1 bowl, 2 spoons and a latel, AND no spices.... but everyday at 4 o'clock, going out to get something is getting old. And there's about 3 options close. So as much as my kids would love to have chic-fil-a every night for dinner, me, not so much.

This is us just hanging out...

Our days usually look like this.... Wake up, I read, boys play video games, breakfast, swim, lunch, movie, swim, dinner, hang out with Tim, either at the pool, playground or basketball hoop.... It really is a rough life. :-)

With so many things up in the air, we are fully dependent on Gods guidance. FULLY DEPENDENT. I was thinking this morning in the shower why it takes a move to assess these things in our lives? Shouldn't I be this dependent, this desperate to hear from God each day, for each decision? Sometimes at night I lay awake trying to figure it all out. I know it's not my job, but I go over everything in my head, wondering if we've missed something, or if it's just supposed to be this hard? Are we on this mini journey to finding a house for something more than finding a house? As odd as it sounds, I'm thankful when an offer doesn't go through because I trust it's Gods way of telling us "not this one". I rather go through putting 7 offers in and them not working out to finally get to the one God would have for us. To not deal with it all and just buy a house to be done with it and end up where we wanted, not God? No thanks! 

When you know God is calling you somewhere, but you don't know why, how can you say I want this house, or this neighborhood? What if us choosing that detail isn't in His plan? Tim and I know God sees our hearts and our desire to follow Him. He knows us better than we know ourselves and He knows the choices were going to make before we choose them. That's why we depend on Him to guide. And if we're not getting it, He's patient and continues to walk us down the path until we get where He has planned.
