It's Been A Long Week

Well, I just wanted to take a few minutes to check in with all of you. The past week was really hard for both Shane and me. Both of us were feeling pretty negative about our situation right now and it has just been really hard to see the light at the end. I know it's there, but it's only flashing...not continuous. I know there are going to be good days and bad, but I am so craving some consistency.

I had a job interview this morning and it went pretty good. I am a little bit concerned about adding another stressful component to our situation, so we'll see. Our biggest challenge continues to be our lack of "home". I am just dying right now to have my things. I want to come HOME. I am thankful that we have a place to stay, but it's going on six months that we have been away from all that we know. I feel like if we could just get that piece settled, we might have a chance at making some progress. Everything just seems to be at a standstill.

It is very difficult to make decisions right now because it is almost impossible to distinguish the truth. One day you feel one way and the next day you feel another. It's so hard to know what feeling is connected to what and in the end, it becomes a big mess of mush. I just wish there was something I could do to make things better. I WANT TO SELL OUR HOUSE!!!! I feel so helpless!!

So please continue to keep us in your prayers. Pray for some sort of patience and guidance. We continue to feel somewhat lost and are just hoping that we are doing the right things.

  2. oh girl..i understand. truly. it's hard to discern what is right, when we sorta feel crazy in our emotions. I do feel like i can say this with certainty..that God will give you the grace to walk the road ahead...even in the dark, we can still see the light. I feel like God does reward those that suffer for His glory and not that we live it FOR the reward but i will keep it close to my heart in prayer,for the extra grace to see and hear Him clearly in all the decisions you face. Still with you.
