Summer boredom...

Nothing new going on here.  Just some summer boredom.  Of course the kids have nothing to do, but nothing I think of is "fun" in their eyes.  Fun for them is staying up all night and sleeping all day.  That is just crazy to me!  Why fight sleep when you are yawning, just go to sleep :-)

We are working on packing up the house and getting ready for the move.  The kids are super excited about the move, and D has been helping pack up the house.  I can't believe that we are actually moving in approximately 20 days!  The last 4 months have been so insane!  I know I just keep repeating myself, but this day 4 months ago, I was preparing the house for the kids.  Just 3 days prior to that, I was a single woman with no worries but me.  Now I am a single mom of 2 teenagers.  God, amazes me everyday.  He has blown my mind at how much peace he has given me on this and how no matter what the need, he fulfills it. 

Obedience is not always something I am good at, let just be honest.  I know that I could be disobedient and say no, but God could not be more clear on this had he spoke through a burning bush.  I know this is what I am to do. 

Being too prideful to ask for help (besides my mom of course) is something I have struggled with for, well as long as I can remember.  I have prayed a lot about it, and spoke with some close friends about it before.  Man, God put 2 kids in my life, and there goes pride.  I mean you just gotta ask for stuff when you need it.  Something simple like boxes or prayer for attitudes. 

Well the kids are spending next week with their grandfather, what am I going to do kid free?!?!? 

Ways you can pray for us:

• pray for the move to go smoothly
• pray for us to get the home study process going and over quickly
• pray for answers for me on this adoption (I mean I have NEVER done this before!  I have to have a lawyer, I have NEVER EVER had one for anything)
• pray that I will not be fearful of being obedient, that I will trust him to provide and know that he is faithful
• pray that the kids will see Christ through everything, and how God answers our prayers and provides.
• start praying for school, that the adjustment into high school and a busy schedule with two kids in sports will go well.

Thanks for everyone's support and encouragement!  I know I could not do it without all of you!
