Third Tuesday

It's the third Tuesday in our new house. We are beginning to settle in. There is still chaos and digging to find things, but the important things are here.... laughing, playing, exploring, rest, LOVE. 

The boys started school.

My dad and I have been busy turning this house into a home. He's been working on the cabinet doors to our kitchen while I have been painting and cleaning.... FOREVER cleaning!!! I will post before and after pictures when we're done. Also when they dug up the septic, the sprinkler system was dug up also. He has spent many hours repairing those.

We are attending a new church, LongLeaf. We have not fully settled in, but it seems to be most like "home" to us. Thomas has enjoyed the middle school group.

It seems we're all growing up a bit. Especially Thomas. This begins the years of transition from childhood to adult (insert mom tears!). He's gotten lessons in hand tools, bbq's and lawnmowers.

It's still surreal to me that we live in Georgia. That we just picked up everything to follow a call. That one day you can be going through life and all its familiar normalcy, then the next have nothing feel familiar or normal. To look around and be so thankful and uncomfortable at the same time. It's just how God works sometimes. Saying yes usually doesn't look like we thought it would. Saying yes can bring pain and struggle. But saying yes brings me to the awareness of my inadequacy. This is where I become dependent on Him and encounter His Glory.
