The last few weeks have been nonstop preparing for the house to go on the market.
I literally wake up and projects begin until around midnight. Josh gets off work and starts his projects right away and retires around midnight or so also. Last night I just sobbed for about an hour. The fatigue has taken its toll, but I think reality had set in also after our day. Yesterday, several friends came over and literally ran our yard sale for us, hauled off the unsold items so we wouldn’t have to do another one, bought much of our furniture, and watched our children. We have had several friends take our children for the day or in spurts so we can do all the preparations to get the house ready for the market. Not to mention, we are making a trip to the D.R. Monday with ‘little P’ (Parlyn Faith). The reality of the priceless friendships that I will miss set in. The reality of selling these (earthly) possessions set in. The reality of going set in. I will not lie, it is hard to take in and I have not handled everyday great. But regardless of the stress, chaos, and emotions of leaving our lifelong friends, family, and what we have known as home… I still have peace to obey and go. The Lord is gracious in providing this. He has been evident in the support of the Body of Christ for us.
As we get ready to head out tomorrow pray for these things please:
My mom with the 4 kids
Our time out there in making preparation for our move there
Our health/safety (especially Parlyn)
Our hearts: that we would not make it about us…but focus on the Savior
