Provision

Amidst all the craziness of house-hunting, we feel so blessed to have found *peace* while visiting this week in Virginia. And when it's all said and done, I do feel that this trip has been especially graced with the Peace That Passes Understanding which can only come from The Man Upstairs. Thanks be to God! :)

We've relished ample family time together in all different combinations--GG and me, GG and the boys, the boys and grandparents, the whole gang, etc.. The neighbors here are wonderful to allow us the use of their swingset, which seems to occupy two little boys with the greatest of forces. As I type, Papa and Daddy read bedtime stories to the kids... There is definitely a peace and calm about the household.

And all this is without mentioning the amazing Providence we've experienced in this house hunt. As of tonight we are in contract for a new home!! WOOHOO! After close to a year of searching, keeping our eyes on the market, deciding where we wanted to "plant", zeroing in on our home favorites... we found one! And can I say that we love it? Right down to the very first step in the front door. This is IT! :)

I can't begin tell you how many small blessings there have been throughout the process... GG and I are just thrilled to have had little stress so far (all right, maybe a little bit more than a little, but not too much! :). We are even planning on having the inspection here before we leave. How incredible too that we really like the people from whom we are buying--a blessing beyond blessings!

Thanks for your journey with us. When we sit back and count our truest blessings, we end up praising God for our family and friends like you.

God bless you and yours tonight. Have a great one on us. :)
