Day 365 - The Final Post

Here we are at the end. The end of a journey that I was scared to begin. I didn't know what God had in store for me as I trusted Him fully with my heart, but I knew that I had to find a way to give everything to Him. My trust, my patience, my love, and my thanksgiving. I remember thinking that I was being foolish. That opening myself up like this would surely result in "testing" from God. That He would desire to throw every horrible situation at me, to show me what it meant to truly...

Day 354 - New Heart

This whole year has really changed me. Each moment is a new chance to flex my new heart... My new trust in God. This whole experience with moving has giving me many opportunities to trust. Just yesterday, we went up to the apartment to check on things (we have the lease for another 3 weeks)... and the door was unlocked and there was a washer/dryer set just sitting in the living room. Now, since I am still financially liable for anything that happens in that apartment, I was a little...

Day 340 - Tiny Tuesday

  I don't know how we functioned before the cell phone. It seemed like we did ok... My parents always knew where we were. We didn't have any emergencies that needed a Google search to solve...

Day 339 - Finished

I thought we were doing so well. Unpacking each box as it made its way to the new house had been so easy, until this past Saturday! Here is my beautiful living room, with that couch that I was almost done ripping... And the heretofore cleared out dining room... And the room that I shutter to think about... my craft room.   As a frame of reference for the boxes in the craft room, ALL of that stuff was neatly organized into a single closet at our apartment. I'm hoping I can...

Day 335 - Ripping

Victoria - 1 Couch - 0 I went a little crazy today and ended up ripping almost all the fabric off of the couch! This was the couch at about 10am this morning... And then I got to work... and here it is a few hours later! Only a few more hours of effort and I'll be ready to start putting the new fabric back on! That is if I can find the staple gun... I am thankful that the fabric is coming off so easily. I am thankful that my new living room is large enough to accommodate this...
