Counting Blessings...

We have successfully sold our home, moved homes, settled in for the most part, celebrated Joshua's third birthday and now we look forward to starting campus ministry(all because of God and to His glory). As the quiet settles on the house at night, I am blown away at God's faithfulness in His word to me: I have called you from the ends of the earth so that you can serve me. I have chosen you, I am not throwing you away. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be dismayed, for I am your God. I will help you, I will strengthen you, I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.Isaiah 41:9-10
Here are some photos from the new house... blessings!

Utter Exhaustion

Hey there Moms, are there any other moms out there who have lived through a move with a 3 year old? This move has been emotionally and physically exhausting, with temper tantrums, melt downs and whining as the icing. This mommy is tired. Any suggestions are invited. Today, I napped the boys at different times, which cut out all the problems, praise God! Nonetheless, the house isn't finished being unpacked. Sometimes, I close my eyes, and wish for little helpers to magically come out of my walls and finish all my "jobs". Strange maybe. If it happened, you know you would be delighted! God bless all, from Oxford.

Packing, Packing, Packing

What a blessing to have family in town. Each set of grandparents have kindly taken both boys one day each week to allow us to pack up the house. Wow, what a difference. I am not stressed, and I actually look forward to the day! I turn up the radio really loud, sing and pack for hours. God is good!
