The Final Word

We are not moving. At first I was way sad and disappointed but as I thought about it (while watching the new Star Trek movie) I had a peaceful feeling. It was like Heavenly Father was telling me that he is trying to "save" my husband from a total breakdown. If we were to move Eric would have to fix up our house for renters, the new house so we could move in and as of right now he is unemployed so he would have to job hunt on top of all of that! The loan totally fell apart with some new regulations so we are done trying. We loved that house and we would have loved having more room but we are thinking that maybe we can enclose our patio and that would create the extra space we need. Erika will probably still go to Mesa High even though we will have to drive every day, we will see. I am still glad that we got a POD and cleaned out the girls' rooms so they can get a much needed face lift. I know that the Lord loves us and He knows what is best and if we do our part He will take care of us and we just have to trust Him.

I'm so sad, but so happy that you're at peace. We don't always know the reasons, but Heavenly Father, without doubt, knows best. Organizing and new floors will be great in your house and I love the closing in the patio idea.
Off the subject...how was the new Star Trek movie??

Hard news. It was in the works for so long, it must really be a letdown. It's hard when we really want something and the Lord sees better. Those are the times when I really wish the veil would part for just a second so I could understand better. But that's faith, right?
Glad Lily's teacher isn't moving though, on the totally selfish side.

I'm sorry that things have been so up and down for you and your family. Heavenly Father must have something really special in store for your family!

Oh Jenn, I know how badly you wanted that house. I am really impressed how well you are taking it all in and how comforted you are through it all. You are amazing!

Aww man, I'm sorry to hear that. But, you sound like you're in a "good place" spiritually and emotionally about it. What a roller coaster you've been on. If it makes you feel any better, i don't get to move any time soon either. UGH! All i can say is, I hope there is something GREAT in my future that I just can't see yet. Good luck with "making it all work" and with Eric finding work!
