Modern Day Nomads

Well, we are still waiting to hear back on everything. As of the end of August, we may be modern-day nomads... we shall see. We have family and friends who are willing to help in whatever comes our way, and for that, I am truly thankful. I still find it difficult to let go of things and let God, but I am learning. We hope to hear some news by tomorrow...

Waiting

Currently it seems God is teaching me patience. Due to the Navy, we no longer believe we will be living in Jacksonville, NC by the end of August, which was what Trenten's orders originally stated. Even though we have already found a house, put an offer on that house, and that offer has been accepted, we do not know if we are going to be able to live in that house. This week has been a big struggle for me. I like to have plans and know what is going on (alright, I like to be in control). But, I know that it needs to be God who in control. We are suppose to find out next week if we stay or go, but who knows, maybe we will go some place entirely different. We are just waiting "patiently" on God's will for our lives.

4th of July





It was a busy weekend! We had 2 brothers-in-laws come to visit. One, my brother Austin, we picked up from Camp Lejeune on Friday. We were able to go to Busch Gardens on Saturday (and even stay for fireworks, which turned out to be the only fireworks for us since it rained on the 4th). On Saturday night, Lew traveled from Ohio to Va Beach to deliver Trenten's motorcycle, which we are so thankful! Trenten bought it back in July of 2009, but it has been in his Grandmother's garage (much to her dismay). Our red car broke down last week, and to fix it will cost more than what it is worth. So, the motorcycle came at the best time! Monday, we had a cookout, and a couple of sailors came over from Trenten's ship. It was a good 4th! This weekend we start house hunting! Oorah!
