{tears...}

"Noble and great. Courageous and determined. Faithful and fearless. That is who you are and who you have always been. And understanding it can change your life, because this knowledge carries a confidence that cannot be duplicated in any other way."

-Sheri Dew

Lately, I have felt very stressed, overwhelmed, doubtful, and unsure. One day when I was feeling extremely emotional, I opened up a book my in-laws recently gave us by Sheri Dew. The quote above was the first one I read and I immediately burst in to tears, again.

I know the Lord is always on our side and he can help us to see our true potential. When I am feeling down, I know I can turn to him and my faith is renewed as he gives me the strength and courage to deal with the unknown.

We have been faced with many challenges and decisions as a family in the past few months. I have been easily discouraged and questioned why life throws us so many curveballs. Much time has been spent in prayer and discussion about what is best for our family and I know our Father in Heaven has been there to help us make the right choice.

So, off we are to Texas, again!!! (Now you can see why I am so full of emotion.) This past year has truly been a roller coaster for our family, but we've patiently gone through all the twists and turns and feel confident that this is the path we are supposed to take.

A few weeks ago we put our house up for rent and within an hour an adorable family called interested and they signed a contract that night, for the price were asking. That was a huge sigh of relief! We haven't had the same luck in finding a house down there yet, but luckily we have all summer to find one. Now onto packing up the house, AGAIN, and on to new adventures in the Lone Star state.
