New House, New Beginnings

Well, we are moved, for the most part...kind of.

This is Carly Beth in her Kyle Busch hat. CB LOVES her new room. She barely leaves it! She cooks and has tea parties all day long!! 
 This is an "in the process" picture of the new flooring in the kitchen. I'm painting cabinets this week and I can't wait to show you the finished product!!
 This was the day I picked up the keys...I just love that we even have a skeleton key for the doors!
 This photo is of the hens in their new home. They are on the farm at my Mom's.  They are going to be so happy here!!


Regardless of the harder parts of this move, this has already changed our lives. We are so blessed and thankful. God is showing us the path He has prepared for us, and we are so excited of where it may lead us!

God Was Listening After All

I'm sitting on my couch in Concord looking at everything around me...there's a LOT left to do before Saturday. It's Moving Day! We are moving to Hickory! God has worked out every last detail and a decision that my Husband made on a whim has been awesome. Granted, I've done a lot of packing, donating and throwing away in the past couple weeks, but I know that there's a whole group of people that will be waiting for us when we get there on Saturday to help unload and unpack...and just welcome us HOME.
I am so grateful. Between you and me...just days before the decision was made an this was all set into motion, I had a prayer moment, bowed at the front of the stage at Kinetic Church. I cried out, yelled really, and asked God why He wasn't listening to me. I was feeling like my prayers
for weeks were falling on deaf ears. I begged for a sign that He hadn't forgotten me or cast me to the side. Mere days passed and as soon as we decided we were 100% sure on moving, a job opportunity presents itself for Todd. It's looking like he may only have to commute back to Concord for work a couple weeks. My family has helped us pack and also prepare our new home. They will be there when we arrive Saturday to help get us settled.
I feel a little silly admitting that through my emotions I conveniently forgot God's
Promises in His word were the only proof I really needed. But I'm glad He looked past my audacity and called my bluff.

God really is listening when you cry out, stay faithful, and He will too.
