Pulled in Different Directions

I feel like i'm being pulled in 100 different directions. I can't get a handle on life b/c as soon as I think I have something under control, something else blows up. I guess it's welcome to life for me, but LIFE I think is laughing at my attempt to control it!

We are in the middle of 2 houses. We are selling our house, and close this month. That means, boxes, packing, moving kids rooms, moving dishes, moving clothes, moving Christmas Trees, moving furniture, moving EVERYTHING. & have we begun packing anything, NO! No boxes, no bags, no organization, NOTHING. That is holding high over my head, and probably the beginning of my pulled feeling. I Have to pack, we Have to be out of this house, I Have to be ready to move, and no one seems as panicd as I am.

Probably the source of our problems is that the house we are moving to, is still under renovatino/ remodel. It was, it is awful. My grandparents home, and they had lived there for over 60 years. I don't think it had been kept up in the last 10 at least, since their health began to fail. We have done major improvements to the house, but it still likes SO much! We have updated so much, carpet, floors, walls, cabinets, etc, etc, etc. & I mean all of those! It still has tons of things to do. We have put so much money into this house, and we're not even halfway there. Our goal in this renovation is to save money, not so much now. But I'm excited to move, have extra money a month, to do the things i've been missing out on.

Faith & Family

Lately i've been thinking lots about our Faith & our Family. I know that I have faith, I believe in God, Jesus, and the holy being. I believe that Jesus came to earth, died for our sins, and rose to save Man. I know all the bible stories of Noah in the Ark, David & Goliath, and typical Sunday School stories. I have always attended church, Always. My dad was a rock when it came to church, there was never a question of "Are we going to Church?" It was just you wake up on Sunday, you go to Church- No questions, no exceptions. I like that, it was solid and a great foundation to base my childhood.

After I got married, we attended the church we got married for a few months, and eventually slipped into a habit of sleeping late on Sundays rather than going to church. And, honestly it didn't bother me then. I liked being at home with my hubby on our days off. I didn't think much about my faith, we were in the moment of being married and being young.

Then, I had kids. I want my kids to have a foundation in the Lord that I have. I want them to have that rock that I had. I want them to go to church, b/c that's what you do, there is no question. I want them to learn the bible stories you learn in Sunday school and make church friends that they can talk to about the stories, the lord, and salvation.

I want our family to be happy at a church where we all fit in. Where we are all comfortable, and love going to church. That;s where we are now, finding a church that fits our family, where we can grow our relationship with the Lord, together.

Restart

I think I should call this post a ReStart! I planned on blogging to relieve some stress, but now life has gotten so stressful that I don't have time to write- Irony- yes!

A lot has changed since November on my last post. We are selling our lovely home. The home that we built together, the home that we came to after our honeymoon, the home that our children were born in, the home where we brought home our children. A great home, and one that will be missed greatly. But we'll make a new home, a just as good home, where our babies will grow up, and that makes a home!

Now the packing must begin- ahhh I hate to pack. But moving day is fastly approaching and we must be ready.

Honestly I must say I am excited to move, I'm excited to branch into this new phase of life. We will be better off, and better prepared for the unknown future. And that in itself is exciting.

I just hope the move goes well and everyone adjusts well!
