prayers please

As you can guess from the title this is just really a big long prayer request. So if you are not into that then just close the window now.


We are in need of some major prayers for our family. No one has a long term or terminal illness. But we are going through a very tough time right now, in regards to this move. The excitement has worn thin (not off ) and the complexity and gravity of the reality of the decisions that need to be made have set in.

We are in complete turmoil about what to do about the house here in VA and what to do about a house in MI. God has given us a financial vision for our family, but we are just not sure what the BEST way is to get there. And yes we are looking for the Best way , not a good way, the best way...because God's way is always the best way. His plans are the best plans. And all too often we accept good plans, sometimes they are even easier plans, and sometimes without realizing that there is a best way, even if it is harder a way.

Please know, we are not destitute. We are not going to be homeless. We have many blessings and we do not want to let this one problem over shadow those wonderful truths in our lives. Everyone is healthy, my husband has a great job, we have family and friends to support us. And we do have some options (although some may be unpleasant) in regards to our house woes, in a time that many people do not have any options. We really are thankful for all of those things. But just because there are families that are in worse situations than us, I do not believe that means we are not allow to ask for prayers.

So that is what I am asking for. Prayers that our eyes are open to His path. Our ears are open to His voice. Our hearts are open to His plans, the best plans for our family. Peace with this season of transition. Calmness and gentleness with each other as we all come to terms with these changes and decision making issues. Humility, to ask for help when we need it. That we would all have good attitudes about any sacrifices we will be making, short and long term. And that we can find joy in the blessing that this opportunity brings us.

Thank you to all of you that have gotten far enough to finish this post, I am grateful to have such family and friends that I can come to in times when I am in need.
