moving [part 2]

i am going to do my best to blog as often as possible through this moving process.

hows it going you ask?
well...
sometimes i feel like this:

and other times i [truly] feel like this:

so when i feel like crazy baby, i try to:

and watch funny youtube videos like this:

or even...

but in all seriousness, everything is going well.
- i was encouraged by a school district i called last week. the woman i spoke with was very helpful in explaining where i was in the process and even offered to help me when my certification is complete.  the conversation lifted my spirits.

- we believe to have found an apartment. [yay for living somewhere!] will keep you posted

- packing = slow start. it will begin in full force on wednesday afternoon

- the goodbyes have started. and will continue during the next week. it has been bittersweet.

- overall, i've been so comforted and encouraged by the support from family and friends. one friend in particular called me last week to share some thoughts that have been on her mind in correlation with us and the moving process. she shared that she woke up in the middle of the night with 3 words on her mind; joy, laughter, delight. immediately, the Lord brought our names to mind. she went on to share stories and scriptures from the Bible.

as i keep saying, this is a leap of faith. and sometimes it is scary to think we don't have jobs yet. or anywhere [permanently] to live. but, we trust this is where God is calling us to be. we trust that God is Sovereign over our move, jobs, and place to live. my prayer through this entire process is that my faith and trust in Jesus would conquer the fears. it is my prayer that we would remain confident in Christ - even when we are a little extremely uncertain.

cody and i are incredibly blessed to have wonderful people in our lives. so again, thank you for your support, prayers and encouragement. it is extremely appreciated.
