It's been awhile since my last post, mainly because we have been so busy working around the house. We are finally completing all of the projects we've wanted to do since we bought the house 6 years ago. That means: completely updated and re-tiled bathroom, painted trim, repaint bedroom, new kitchen counters, paint the kitchen, random yard work (including replanting grass)... and that's just the beginning. It's been a lot of work, but items are finally being crossed off the list for good!
The irony is that the projects will be finished just in time to put our house on the market. We are going to try to sell fsbo and see if anyone is interested. Of course, everyone wants to know where we are moving and why now in the midst of a down market. And the reality is we don't know where we are moving. We have been tossing around the idea for awhile, and then the other day at church, the pastor was talking about faith as an action... how faith is more than just believing, it's acting out that belief. He ended with the question, "What step of faith do you feel like God is asking you to take?" As we left, Patrick and I shared our thoughts on this question, and it turns out we both felt like God was calling us to put our house on the market. It was very random that we would have both come up with this idea at the same time, and we both feel strongly like it's what we are supposed to do. So, despite the long list of reasons it doesn't make sense right now, we are going to put our house up for sale. Though it's stressful, overwhelming and a little frightening to have no idea what the future holds, we know Who holds us. We are both so excited to see where God leads us from here.
On a totally different note, I have some great video of A that I'm going to try to post. I've never posted video on blogspot before, so it may take awhile for me to figure it out. But, you can sit in suspense waiting anxiously to see a really cute movie.
