house hunting

we had a full weekend of house hunting!! vati and mutti came saturday to stay with the kids so that we could go on our own, and then sunday we went back for more with the kids, and they actually did very well!!

well...we are a bit overwhelmed to say the least...we really didn't see anything that was saying "buy me, buy me" until the very last house that we saw sunday evening. i am not sure that we are sold on it yet either, but we are praying about it...we'll see what this week holds. our realtor (who is awesome!) says that she feels we've seen everything that is in our price range that is worth looking at. so, i don't know.

as the "move out" day gets closer, we are starting to wonder where we will be and think it is sort of crazy that we don't know! it's also very exciting to know that God has a plan for our family and though we know that we have to make some big decisions here soon, His timing is perfect and there is no need to worry, He is working out all the details.

Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Matthew 6:26-34

'For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.

Jeremiah 29:11
