Waiting on God.

So I haven't updated in way too long. I must apologize for that. Life has been... I don't even have words. Good, challenging, happy, sad, and all over the map. Right now in particular, it's hard. I can't explain why just yet, but it has nothing to do with the adoption process.


The past few months have been one thing after another. I mean, life with six kids is always busy, but it has been far more so than the norm. It's been somewhat brutal for me and I don't know when, exactly, it's going to let up. Robby accepted a really great job with a new company about 2 hours away in Bentonville. It is such a blessing and we are so grateful for it. On the other hand, our house has been for sale for 15 months now. Robby started his job a month ago. Our house has shown a few times since then, but no offers yet. I can't go into specifics, but our biggest desire right now is to move. Life will get far better, far easier when we can do so. In the mean time, it's a fight to keep it all together. I'm doing my best here, but I'd be lying if I said it's not a complete daily war. However we know what God has said He is going to do and we believe Him. Our circumstances scream in opposition, but we believe the report of the Lord. Soon we will receive an offer and things will get much better. If you wouldn't mind, please pray for us. We'd appreciate it.


In adoption news: we are only approximately $1,000 away from reaching our first big goal! It's quite exciting. Again, though, even if we were to obtain that money tomorrow we cannot move forward with the home study until we have moved to NWA. So, as I have insinuated, selling this house is a giant deal for us. I cannot express that enough. We've been doing everything we can to sell, including painting, cleaning it up, organizing spaces, and dropping the price. In the end, the ball is in God's court and it's His move. Until then, we will keep standing on His promises.


Robby and I just celebrated 13 years of marriage yesterday on November 11th. Unfortunately, we weren't able to spend it together, but we'll be getting away for a day to do that this weekend. I am so blessed to be his wife. He really is a true man of God.


I hope to update with good news very soon!
