so, we did move
it was lovely
we unpacked
and still are
it is long and lovely
we are definitely not settled
there is much work to be done
that is lovely
our neighbours and more than lovely
we love it!
we are adjusting
Blu keeps asking when we are going back to our old house:(
so sweet
the flow of this house has not had a chance to happen yet
as life has been too messy
to0 disorganized
so, another lesson of letting go of things
and not letting stuff that is not done bother me
giving lots of grace
the kids are also trying to figure it out
lots of grace
.................
I can't get the kids inside
which is wonderful
I love that they get to learn what it takes to move
how to put a house together
how to work
how hard it is
how much time it takes
and you don't get paid for it!...hee hee
these are valuable life lessons
and part of those lessons are for me
knowing when to stop
because it is never ending
not forgetting to have fun when the work is done
as I could just keep on working morning, noon and night
and of course the balance
balancing my thankfulness and my daily bread and praise to
the meaningless of it all in the grand scheme of things
I mean, the meaningless of stuff
how did I/we get here anyway???
do I put this chair here or over here
what color should I paint this?
and so on
meaningless.....yet, I cannot escape it
it is the culture I live in
and I like my home to function well. to be visually appealing to me
peaceful. creative and humble
this "Style At Home" culture is too much me
I am burdened by the thoughts that I have so much
and so many have nothing
here I am worrying.....I am worrying.....
give me a break!!!
Christ says not to worry about ANYTHING
and here I am worrying about whether
my drapes match the bed?
how self centered of me?
now what?
what do I do with these feelings that are always there
we have too much
we need to share
how do I do this?
how do I live this out in this life?
with this family?
what is God calling us to do?
do I think too much?
..............
the above photographs were taken from our trip to Florida
2 weeks after we moved in
what a lovely time we have
"May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart
pleasing to you."
psalm 19:14
