A Peaceful Night

It's hard to believe that we have been on this new adventure for over a week now. The house is almost completely packed up. I still have a few things left to throw into a few boxes. The house is officially up for sale! Wow! Sometimes this all seems a little surreal, but definitely in a good way. I look forward to having the house sold and being a little closer to the debt free part of the plan. No worries at all, though. God already knows whose house that will become. And I pray that they have many beautiful memories in it, as we did. There were many things that needed doing in the house, but even with that, it held a lot of laughter. I'm so glad that we can carry those memories with us in our hearts everywhere we go.

We have finally gotten settled into the RVing lifestyle. It is absolutely beautiful here on the lake. When God placed the whole idea of selling everything and buying a camper on our hearts, I had no idea just what benefits it would hold for us, as well. We are still getting used to the small amount of storage space. It certainly makes you reevaluate what is important and what isn't. But ya know, none of us has complained about letting go of anything - especially the kids! I am so proud of them. They have been great throughout this entire experience. It's very quiet here during the week. But come Thursday night, the weekenders start rolling in and new sets of friends pull up for the next few days. The boys spent most of the day today hanging out with new friends from Seminary. I'm glad that they are enjoying it as much as they have been!


We have a new little friend that comes to see us each day. We have been feeding him some of the boiled peanuts we picked up in Laurel this week. He favors them quite a bit. Aidan gets the biggest kick out of his visits. Well, maybe I do! I haven't managed to get a picture of the spectacular bluebird that comes every day. I hung a few feeders today. Perhaps tomorrow he will show out for the camera.

Tonight is such a peaceful night. I hope that it is the same for you, wherever you are. Know that God is right there with you, waiting to hold you in His arms and sing you to sleep. Have a wonderfully blessed night!
