it is finished.

We are moving.

Our house went on the market on Thursday and we have multiple offers already.

Can you believe that we have lived here nearly 6 years? Our children were babies here. This was the place we learned and grew more than ever before. We learned about home ownership, pet ownership, and family stewardship. We overcame so much in the time that we lived here and found our way along a journey of discipleship and self-mastery. First steps, lost teeth, and epic wrestle matches.

We don't know exactly where we are going yet. But we know it will be just right for the growings and learnings of the future. We feel the Lord going before us and preparing a place.

And as hard as it is to leave I know He is our rearward. The next family will bring crawling babes and loose teeth so the house can continue to fulfil its purpose.

Here's a look into some home changes since the heart changes are harder to see...

Glory to God for His power to overcome. For His grace and guidance.

We're stepping into the darkness but we know He will light the way as we go.
