Moving Date Set

We are moving May 9 to Raleigh, NC

That's only about 3 weeks away.

Our house has not sold yet.

Our stuff is selling like hotcakes which is good. Still alot to sell. We are currently without any lamps or tables in the LR and no table, chairs, stools, or anything to eat on for 3 weeks :) That's ok.

In making this decision, among other things, one that pushed us in this direction was a book Jared read saying something about stepping out in faith and afterwards God beginning to put the pieces together rather than waiting for Him to put the pieces together first. That's what we're seeing in several areas and are thankful. Still alot to do though.

I'm really struggling with leaving my house right now (I know it's just a house, and I'm way MORE sad about leaving friends and family, it's just on my mind alot as I pack it up). We chose all the options, colors, etc in this house. It was brand new. We started our family. It's an AMAZING house. I do not yet know exactly where I'm living when I get there but I'm nearly certain it will be older, not as nice, and half the size or less. I'm not complaining, I'm just frustrated that I'm struggling with it. Even so, I know that once we are wherever we are going to be it will immediately become home to me and my "need" for the house I'm in now will quickly fade....

Prayer needs....

Continue to pray for Jared's job situation. This may sound weird - but it's all the details I will give for the moment.

Pray for a house/apt for us in our price range (though who even really knows what our price range is :)) that we like, has just enough room or even more, is clean, not scary, and works well for our family.

For our stuff to sell. Specifically I'm thinking of our playset, couch, adjustable bed, and cars. Those are the big ones.

I'm thankful to report that we might have sold enough to pay for our move. If not, we're REALLY close. We MAY have extra. Everything else sold we will need to get new cars, beds for the boys, a kitchen table and couch (and potentially replace a few other things we've sold)

For wisdom about when/how to get our stuff to NC. Not sure we can get it sent before we leave. It will take 6 days to arrive and we have to have a place for it to arrive. This is quite stressful to me, but should be figured out next week.

I'm tired and need some sleep so I can work more on this tomorrow :)

thanks for all your prayers and love.
