Just some thoughts

It's been a while since my last post...I've told some people I either haven't had much to say, or that maybe I just didn't want my thoughts shared with the world! It's been a crazy couple of weeks. We are fully into "transition" time. Jon started commuting a couple of weeks ago. He's going down one day a week and spending the night there and coming back the next day. Then we are all going on the weekends. So far it's been okay, but certainly not ideal. We kind of forget where we live sometimes! We are anxious to be living in the place God has called us to and we are both very excited about all that is in store. The GracePointe launch team already feels like a family to us and we have been blessed already by their encouragement. The girls are doing okay with it all. Abigail has already made a friend at our new church which really helps. She's confused though about where we go to church now, what's changing and what's staying the same. We had a launch team meeting Sunday night, and Abigail started crying when we were leaving. She said, "Mommy, I don't want to be done with this place yet!" I explained to her that we would come back and that made her feel better. She is still going to preschool in Hixson, and I'm still going to Bible study there, so she's doing a lot of back and forth with all that too. Pray for her as she adjusts. She has been more clingy than usual as she senses all the change. Aside from all that, she has said some hilarious things lately. Most of them aren't appropriate to post : ), but I'll share one. Yesterday I was painting her toenails and Jon walked in the bathroom. She looked at him and said, "This is a special moment." We both cracked up laughing and of course she keeps saying it now over and over. She really seems to be growing up these last couple of weeks too-in her appearance, and also in her vocabulary and maturity. We're so proud of her.
Ava is really beginning to show her personality more too. The funniest thing about her is her stomach. She is always hungry and eats constantly. Somehow though she has the skinniest arms and legs (wonder where she gets that!) but her stomach is huge, especially after a meal! She looks like a tiny pregnant woman. It's hilarious. She is still as sweet and snuggly as ever and loves to copy her sister. Today she put on Abigail's dress up high heels and pushed the baby stroller around the house, just like Abigail does.
As for me, I have good days and bad days with all this change. It has really been a battle to believe the truth about God in all this. We had really hoped our house would have sold by now. I was telling Jon today how much I don't like this commuting, and he said we can either believe God doesn't love us, or that He loves us too much to let this be really easy. I've been thinking about that today and it's so true. The Lord has proven His love over and over again so I have no choice but to believe. I remind myself again that He sees the big picture and I don't. And I remind myself that He loves me, and that's enough.
