Today I'm not feeling very well, my allergies are really bad, and it's rainy and gray...To go with my mood, i guess :) I spent the day painting and scrapbooking, because these things along with playing with my baby, make me feel better. I think that as the day approaches for our move, i get more and more nervous, and that's what's getting my allergies so bad...Anyway, another week goes by, tomorrow i have the gruesome job of seeing all we have, assigning how much they are going to be sold for, and taking pictures to make a flyer. A couple people have already called me, interested in the furniture and other things, so i need to hurry up. It's just so hard to get rid of everything! my brother in law is going to come a week before we go, so we'll be able to take some more than we thought, but still...It's funny how things can get a hold of your life and you don't even notice...I keep reminding myself that when we moved here, we had NOTHING- just our clothes, and a couple paintings. And now, by the grace of God (he always provides) we have so much! a big bed (a blessing if you're married to a 6'5" man, lol), a microwave oven, a car, baby furniture, kitchen stuff, enough books to fill a room (really), two couches, a tv, a playstation2 and an Xbox, two computers, a videocamera, two regular cameras (one digital, the other conventional), several paintings, patio furniture, a fold up bed, a stove and refrigerator, an inverter (in this country, city power is not reliable, so you need backup energy or good old fashioned lamps- the kind that uses oil-)...So much stuff, in just 3 years and some...Most of it, given to us by kind people,some bought by us.If i ever doubt that God loves me,all I'll have to do is remember how he provided for us in such a way, that i can't say i ever had any need that wasn't fulfilled... Now i have to trust him,and sell everything,because he's giving me more :) easier said than done,because my inner pack rat keeps whispering in my ear that I'm completely insane.So keep praying that i get to have as much faith as my husband.
Blessings,
Julie
