It's Raining, it's pouring!

The weather is CRAZY today. I had to get out for just a little bit...I have a hard time staying home on rainy days. It's weird. I feel like a caged lion. If it wasn't raining then I wouldn't want to go any where, it's just the fact that I can't. I don't like it when I "can't" do something...I'm feisty like that! I'm still learning! So, Ava and I jumped in the van when it was sprinkling to grab some nachos and cheese at Taco Bell. It was fun! Except for the fact that when we got in the van it started down pouring! Now, we are hunkered down in the living room enjoying our modern day technology.
There is so much that I should be doing right now! My life is full, of goodness and adventure. trusting God is a hard things to do, but I am being challenged to do so every minute of the day. It's making my heart go pitter patter and I'm delighted in getting some confirmation that our family is doing God's Will. He is taking us on a whirlwind right now. I feel as though I am standing completely still and there is peace around me, but just a few inches behind me there is a raging tornado of activity. I'm suppose to be standing in peace and trust. We decided that we would put our home up for rent, which then meant we needed to have a home to move into. Of course. We have been talking for years about needing more space.Especially, in such a horrible economy. Every time it came up we just decided we have been blessed and when the time is right we will know. Then, we would let the thoughts slip away and go to IKEA to make our home more spacious. HaHa...this only worked to a point. We are a family of six living in 1300 sq. ft. home and we have exhausted the square footage completely.Which is still a selfish American thing to say, I know! Me being a neat freak, it's been challenging. So, last weekend we contacted our very awesome Realtor and said please help, we need more space. We want to rent our home! Our Realtor being who she is, jumped at the chance. Okay, I'm going to skip the looking at all the houses....but we found one! NO that isn't right, GOD gave us one! The perfect one and now everything is flying crazy around us. We love our home now, but it's time to let go and move forward. To grow up just a little more and make the best decisions we can with the wisdom we have been given. So far, So good! We have lots of people praying that we find good tenants. I am confident that this is all going to work. So, that is what is going through my mind on the rainy afternoon. Lots of blessing! ~Shannon

I know it's hard to let go and trust...;-)We may fail, but we fail if we don't try!
