Today is the 1st day in months I sat down and watched a TV just because I didn't HAVE to get anything done. The last few months have be go go go mode. We have painted about 1/2 our house, moved about 1/2 our furniture into our shed and garage, and cleaned everything to the core. You see selling our house has been quite the roller coaster. About 6 months ago Zach and I said that by May we would have a job in AZ. We felt like the Lord told us years ago we were suppose to be in AZ but it just didn't happen for years. Then after Christmas when we were traveling we decided to trust that if the Lord wants us in AZ then he would provide a way. Zach applied to several companies and interviewed at 2. We were trying to stay with Boeing but it just wasn't happening for some reason. He felt like if he got a job there it would be because he was given it. He wanted to earn in and he really wanted to feel like the company wanted him there.
It didn't take much time before I knew that we were headed to AZ. I mean I was in denial but I always new it would happen. I don't remember the exact date he got a job offer but I want to say that by around March I new we were going to move and that my Husband would be working for Hexcel. It truly feels like such a blessing. You see my Husband got a relocation package and it is wonderful. They are paying for us to move and it's such a blessing. They have given us so much that sometimes it feels surreal.
If we could sell our house quickly it would make this transition really easy. So why hasn't it happened yet? We have worked so hard and we have done so much to this house that I just feel like it should happen. Why isn't it happening? As I've been praying and studying the last few days I have felt 2 things first God's got this handled and I just need to trust and have faith. Second he is preparing someone for this house but it's just not yet. 3rd being patient in affliction and working hard is good for the soul. Now I'm just so very grateful that the Lord has changed my heart. I no longer feel entitled to have this house sell in my time frame or that the perfect person has to buy it. I just feel grateful that I can let God handle this one and then just wait and enjoy the ride. As I sat outside this morning in the beautiful weather I was just grateful for another day in this beautiful place. I was grateful I get to stay home with my sweet girls and watch them laugh, cry, learn, climb, scream, talk all day long, and teach me so much. You see kids see life through a different kind of lens. The little make them happy and we don't have to do anything elaborate to please their simple minds. So today as I sit here I just feel a sense of peace. I feel grateful for another day that I get to watch my sweet girls enjoy this day God has given us. I will kiss my baby a few more times, hug my sweet toddle one more time and dance and sing through this life with them. This ride to truly breathtaking and beautiful among all the crazy and almost constant drama.
