Home

Well, we have moved in, if that is what you want to call it.  Ugh!  We have more stuff outside than we do inside, but I have hope that we will get there.  The kids are thrilled with their rooms.  They have played together more in the last two days than they have in the last two months.  Yesterday evening we went to the "old" house to say goodbye.  I have to say it was an absolute "cry fest", but it was a necessary step that we all had to take.  It was so empty!  A house really is walls and a roof.  A home is what you make it.  We spent time in each room, and relived many memories.  I know it seems a little melodramatic, but we needed to go through that together in order to move on.  We came home with closure.  We have been so blessed, and the Lord will continue to provide us with more memorable times as a family in our new house.  We all slept like babies.  Cobb and I both woke up saying that we hadn't slept that good in weeks.  We are excited about each new day in our new house, oops....home.  Upon waking up, I found my new spot for my devotion time, and I looked up my devotion for the day.  I was a little confused by the word that the Lord had for me today, but I backed up within the chapter and found the gem that I feel the Lord wanted me to read.  It is found in 1 Corinthians 7:31-32, "Those who use the things of the world should not become attached to them.  For this world as we know it will soon pass away.  I want you to be free from the concerns of this life."  Wow!  I needed that.  He always knows just what to say.  He wants us to be free.  Free to worship, free to serve, free to love, and free to give.  Free from worry!  Amen
