Selling our House

Our God is greater, Our God is stronger, Our God is higher than any other.
We have been so blessed. Our house has sold and the details are all falling into place. It is amazing that in this economic market that our house sold. We put it on the market on a Wednesday, people called on Thursday and they went through it on Saturday. The next Thursday, they gave us an offer. We have been praying very specifically for the Lord to be preparing the hearts of the people who are to buy our house. We feel he is answering these prayers in a very clear way.
Yesterday, the new people moved into our house. It was a very weird feeling seeing someone move into the house that you thought you were going to grow old in. I am so thankful that it has sold, and I pray these people will love it as much as we loved it.
We have started our on-line training. I love the books we are reading, although I find it very challenging to write a paper on what I am supposed to. Please pray that I can have a clear mind when I a writing these papers. It is very challenging for me to put into words what I have read in one page. I would much rather talk face to face.

We are going through numerous medical appointments. My doctor is retiring so I am looking for a new physician. I think I know who I am going to go to, but I want to keep praying a little longer so I know for sure that it is the Dr. I am supposed to go to. I am having a little high blood pressure and need to get it figured out before I leave. Although, I know what I need to do! (Run Again). How to make time is the question. I know I could if I would just get motivated to do so.
The kids have had some of there vaccinations. We need to make an appointment with the health department to get yellow fever and some of the other ones. It just seems too overwhelming before Christmas, and with the moving process.

We anticipate being with family at Christmas. We are so excited to spend time with our families. I sure it will feel a little different this year, but we are excited to celebrate Christ's Birth. He is the only Reason for the Season.

Training is starting!

We are just starting our November to January training. I have looked over the assignments and I will admit I am feeling a little overwhelmed. I think we will be staying home a lot and will have to remain focused on getting our assignments done. Although very overwhelmed, I am also very excited.

We are so thankful to be living in town. The kids love it here and for some reason I feel less stress here. Our kids are getting more time with us as I don't always feel I am rushing them to the bus or waiting for the bus to bring them home. What a huge blessing!!

We have accepted and offer on our house and now we wait for inspections and for everything to go through. The new couple (family?) will be moving in on Dec. 4 if all goes according to plan. Pray for a smooth transition for them and for us as we get our remaining things out of our house we love. We also ask for prayers for things to go quickly. We really would like to close on December 17 and if everything goes well we will, so please pray for quick resolutions to all the details!

We remain in awe of how Awesome our God is! He has guided us every step and we trust him to continue to do so. Please pray that our focus will remain on HIM and HIS plan for our lives!
