Packing and moving

First Box!! We stopped counting around #56.... Anderson's room, our first to pack was one of the hardest. It was sad to pack his sweet nursery. We were definitely walking by faith. We weren't sure if we should pack because we had not received the offer letter we were hoping for but realized that Andrew had not wavered in his desire to go, yet we were wavering in going forward. I felt tossed a bit by the waves of uncertainty so after a good neighborhood walk talk, I asked Andrew to state (b/n) us that we were moving. He said, "I want to" I said we need to say say, "we are going." So He said , "we are moving." Even though it went against every fiber of his knowing 100%, he said it. After that we went inside and packed up Anderson's room.
So we continued to walk by faith. Which is really what we need to do daily. We just had a tangible living out in front of us. I have really seen how faith is really faith when faith is required. Meaning, when you are in the middle and you can't see ahead and you have to trust, that is faith.





I would get a glimpse of the ocean and say, "why" and then think, we are on an adventure!








We will definitely take Bobo!







Dev and Anderson did such a great job of hanging in there with all the packing!







It was hard for me to leaving anything behind to store in our house, I wanted to take it all!




Throughout the entire month we were continually asked to live by faith. We would move forward and then stop, hoping to receive what we were hoping for and we would still have to press on and move forward. There were some trying days.










This packing is hard work!



















Almost all ready!
