JEL FAMILY

Building a Family of Faith
Faith in our family begins with trusting our Heavenly Father and His promises. We press forward despite challenges, never giving up on ourselves or our children. We teach our family to have faith in Christ by living what we know to be true. Our children learn their most powerful lessons from our faithfulness.

Baby Steps

So much to do and so little time to do it in. Well, not really. I have about 4 months but sometimes it feels like there isn't enough time. But then sometimes I wish it were already here.
Excitement...
Dread...
Moving a family halfway across the country comes with a multitude of emotions. 
Bringing boxes home made it feel real. I have gone from "This is a great idea!" to "This is real! It's really happening!"
There isn't much I can do yet so, bring on the lists. What I need for the trip, what to pack in the truck, what to pack in the car, what to get rid of, different rental locations, job searches. 
For the most part, I think we all are ready for the next stage of our lives. Once you know something is right, it's hard to wait around for it to begin. 
I have found a vet, groomer, and kennel for Gypsy. Not that I plan to use the last one often but I decided every option should be prepared for. I have even started the process for substitute teaching! They really require a lot from subs. It's nice to see a school system that has testing for its substitutes. I am looking forward to the process. 
I think this year is going to be exciting, challenging, and strengthening. 
Easy? It's never easy!
