Still Waiting...

Well, I am learning to trust God more. This move has been a trial for us, to say the least. We moved to TN hoping to find something better, but all we have found so far, is much more trying than what we left. I feel like God is teaching me patience, and to trust Him more. Sometimes it feels like God's not listening to me. I know He is, I know he cares, and I know He loves us. Sometimes I wish that He would speak to me in an audible voice, or show up in a burning bush. Some tangible evidence that He hears me when I talk.

TN is good most of the time, I love our church, I love our friends, I love our family. I LOVE SuperTarget. I just have those moments when I wonder if we did the right thing by moving 600 miles away from everyone, and everything we've ever known.

We need prayer. Frank needs a job. We need to move out of the in-laws. We need to find more friends.

It's a Different Life

Tennessee is different life. Lonely, but exciting all at the same time. I am enjoying exploring my new surroundings, but terrified that I won't connect with anyone. We found an amazing church, it is everything we were looking for, but there is still no job prospects, and we are going to run out of money very quickly. This experience is teaching me to rely on God fully, which I always have a really hard time doing.

I miss having my own space, to have privacy. I miss simple things like doing what I want when I want to. I miss using my own stuff. I miss using the bathroom when I want to, taking a bath, LONG HOT showers. I miss cooking what I want when I want.

I love always having someone to talk to. I love sharing cooking responsibilities. I love sharing household duties. I love spending time with family. I love that I have help.

It is very hard to live with others, and I knew that going into this, but it's harder now than it was last time, because I am used to living on my own.

It's a crazy life...

So we are moving in 2.5 weeks. Let the countdown begin. 16 more days. OH MY GOODNESS!!! I have so much to do still, and no time to do it in. My house is completely out of control. I only have Eli's room packed. AHHH!!!

Okay on to better subjects. We are moving to TN is 2.5 weeks. Wait a second, this topic seems familiar. As you can tell TN is both exhilirating, and terrifying. I am excited to move to a new place, and experience new things. I am also terrified to go somewhere where I have no friends, and no church, where the only people I know are my in-laws. Neither of us have jobs, we are living with my in-laws, and we will be 600 miles away from everything I have ever known. Here we go...
