Just 2 more days and all this crazyness will end and another kind of crazyness will begin. I kind of wish I could just sleep through the next 2 months and wake up in Madison with a home and job and not have to live with being displaced with the in laws until we leave St. Louis and packing up everything again in another 6 weeks and heading off into the unknown.
Between selling the house, moving in with the in-laws, moving out of the in-laws, quitting our jobs, moving to a new place, finding a new home and finding new jobs I feel like we have enough change to last us for a decade.
Lately I've been hit with the reality that we really have no clue what we're getting into. Moving to a new place where we don't know anyone and planting a church? Who does that? We do! We definitely have no clue what we're doing, but it's been good for us to really learn to become more dependant on God through this season. Every day I have to sit back and wonder why God is so good to me. There are so many unknowns in store for us, but I'm so excited to look back on this season of life and see how God has provided and been so faithful in the midst of all our fears and uncertainties.
Right now I'm just trying to take one day at a time and really trying to get everything that I can out of this season. I feel like there are so many things in our life right now which gives us great opportunities to grow and learn, so I'm trying to embrace that as much as possible.
On to another note....did I mention that I'm helping throw a VERY last minute baby shower on Sunday...THE DAY AFTER WE MOVE?? Yes, I have a few very busy days in front of me. We're expecting a good 50 people to show up at the shower, but since we only gave everyone a week's notice we couldn't really do the whole RSVP thing. With such little time for planning we had to throw something together really quick. They've been really blessed as Liliana's foster parents have given them SO many clothes and toys, so it takes a lot of stress away from them. It's crazy that just 2 weeks ago they were going along with life as normal and now in another week and a half they'll have a daughter! It's all so exciting and I just can't wait to meet Liliana. She is going to be one very loved little girl. She's SO beautiful too!

It's tough being displaced but the time will pass before you know it.
