Transition

We are pretty much in complete transition mode right now. The movers are coming next Tuesday to pack, and they will load the truck Wednesday. Thursday we'll clean and get the keys for the townhouse David's company is renting for us. Friday,we'll sign our house over to its new family.

The townhouse is available to us for 30 days! Praise God for this provision, because we have not yet found a house to buy/rent. We're still working on it.

I didn't realize that the kids would be feeling so much stress already. Josiah has been deliberately disobeying and talking back for the first time. Elizabeth has been especially emotional, and was absolutely mean to Josiah this evening. (I have NEVER seen her behave the way she did tonight!) I'm not sure how much Josiah understands about us moving. He's obviously noticed changes around the house, and noticed Mommy and Daddy are more preoccupied than normal. Elizabeth absolutely knows what is happening. Leaving friends and going into the unknown are particularly upsetting for her. David's commuting has been rough on all of us, too.

We know that God will provide for all our needs. We know that He will reveal His plan in perfect time. We know He holds our dear little ones in His hands and knows their hearts better than even they do. Will you lift our family before the throne as we go into this very busy next week?

Praying my friend... for all 4 of you. I'm sorry for all the stress and pray it's soon settled. Also praying you'll find your permanent home soon, so that the kiddos can settle in for real. It's tough, that's for sure.
Godspeed,
Toni
