We have news!

Have you ever wondered "Why me Lord" when things just aren't going your way? We have had a lot of things going on over here at our house lately. Many of unspoken things that we have had to work out over the past two years. We have stuck by the book and done everything that we are supposed to. Yet every time we turn around there has been another loop to jump through.
The other day I finally looked at Brian and said "God is testing us to see if we are really going to count on him". I decided that I was going to speak only positive things and claim what I believed the Lord was going to do was for our good. We have done all that we can do and when you do all you can you have to just trust in God to see you through.
We receieved the call that we have been waiting on and Praise the Lord he answered our prayers once again.
Our news is that we are building a beautiful new house in South Carolina. We will begin building after the first of the year. The boys are extremely happy since they will once again have their own room. I am excited because after the past couple of years of living in tight quarters we will have over 2,000 sq ft to spread out in.
It has been a challenge for us since we have high standards of what we want in a home. We have spent many months looking at lots, neighborhoods, floor plans and we finally came to a place where Brian and I agreed upon a home. Brian has already started his list of what he expects from the builders, the boys have their list ready of what they want their room to look like and Lilly just wants there to be lots of pink. I am just thankful that the Lord has seen us through and that our children will have a home to call theirs again.
We will keep you posted on all of the awesome things going on. Please keep us in your prayers as we have never built a home before and I know that this is going to be a fun yet stressful time.
