I also went through th...I feel your disappointment. I also went through that for years and years at our old house. My parents picked out the house we were to live in (long story short: they were saving us from living in an apartment and we "flipped" a house for them, and also paid rent.) And even though we were very thankful to have a HOUSE and not a tiny apartment, it wasn't the same when you don't pick it yourself, you know? For ten years, I waited to move. But something always happened. Pregnancies and extra mouths to feed. Job lay-offs. Heart attacks. One income. And our family was growing and we had kids sleeping in the sun room because we ran out of room. Finally came the day for us that God said, "Ok, now you can move" but even then, it took an entire of year of fixing the house up and many rude comments from potential buyers who said the house was too worn out and not updated enough. <br /><br />Anyway, God will tell you when it's time for you to move too! I have noticed in my life, that when I try to initiate things in my life, they either never happen or else they don't go well at all. But when I wait for God to initiate, it always comes by surprise and it goes very easily! So I hope that that is what will happen for you, in God's time! :-)<br /><br />And this is just a side-comment (probably not a very appropriate one), but I always find it very awkward to put those puzzles together with Wonder Woman on it, don't you? It's sort of like "Oh, I found Wonder Woman's cleavage."

Weird how that works, isn't it? <br /><br />My almost 12 year old will go to daily Mass with me, but she doesn't like getting up early. The others will sometimes. I like us all to go on Fridays. I don't make them though on other days, I want them to WANT to go! :)Jamie Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678469484585027738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056332983367489033.post-81801263937627887342016-08-20T10:57:58.401-05:002016-08-20T10:57:58.401-05:00Oh Jamie!

I'm so glad that I did!! Another wonderful Thankful post so fun to read. Your family is so precious and beautiful. Those smiles are the best! As I've said, I know I'm happy that you'll still be in MN, so I can see those sweet faces. (That means we really better get together more often!!) It was so much fun visiting at the lake and it was one of my favorite days this summer. It looks like you will have lots of new adventure and things to look forward this year. Wow, your kids are growing up! Mine are too. ;) The school room looks amazingly wonderfully organized. I could just sit in there and enjoy the beauty. lol. I see you have one of my favorite people up on your computer there too. hehehe. <br /><br />Blessings on the upcoming school year and all the treasures that staying in MN will hold for your family. Let's get together very soon!!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16604810218733272554noreply@blogger.com
