As I am sitting here waiting for Desperate Housewives to come on (and Jesse is playing playstation) I thought I would give you an update on our internship process. Some of Jesse's applications are due on the 1st of November. Today is October 1st.... that is a month away!! All of this is starting to sink in and become real!
Jesse's Dad is starting to look for a trailer to move us home with!! He is definitely ready for us to be a little bit closer!! We need a trailer big enough to pull our Jeep and all the things that we have collected over the past 4 years. And I do mean collect!! We now have 2 garages and a one bedroom apartment.... we started out with a 500 sq foot apartment!!!! Jesse has his father's blood when it comes to junk!! And I say junk as nice as I possibly can. When our garage neighbor, Greg, was moving he was giving 1/2 his stuff to Jesse. "Hey Jesse do you need this 2 x 4?" Of course he can't even turn down a piece of wood... You never know when you might need it!! So you can imagine the stuff we have!!
Anyway, back on track. All this moving talk and internship stuff finally sunk in last Sunday. We only have about 10 months left out here. I was vacuuming the floors today thinking that our lease is up the end for March (and I get a free carpet cleaning!!!) but we won't be able to sign on for another year! We can't even do a 6-month! We will have to rent month to month!! This is all very exciting yet very stressful!! I don't remember it being this stressful when we moved out here! Maybe because I just finished college we just got married and came back from our honeymoon... things didn't have time to sink in!
I have to remember that there is no need to worry, God already has a place in mind for us and it is getting it ready!! I just hope it is in either Minnesota or Wisconsin!!
That is all I have to say right now about the process! Just pray for us for patience as we wait to find out where we will be going next! God bless!

Lynn, the wonderful thing is that God does have everything in control and already knows where you guys will be going and so rejoice in that.
W/this process I too feel the same way and the two verses that always comfort me when there is a big change ahead is, Jeremiah 29:11; for I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to make you prosper, plans to give you hope and a future.....
The other one is in psalms and its real simple; Let go and let God.
You just warm my heart friend!! I will rejoice right now. And you are right those verses also bring comfort to me!! Thank you!! You just made my day!! :)
(I need to write them on sticky notes and post them all over my apartment, car, and work computer!!!)
You don't remember it being so stressful and the uncertainties... because your father and I did it for you. Watching you prepare for the change in your life was beyond words back in 2003. My mind was full of thoughts to talk you out of moving across the US, so far away from your family. My heart was full of love for you and Jesse to start your life together on your own. I had to listen to my heart, and you have proven the path of two hearts and prayers is sure to bring you joy as long as you are willing to work for it.
Relax and enjoy the path that God is planning for you, leave the worry up to Dad and I, we're starting to be really good at it.
