Happy 4th of July!

The past few weeks have been a blur preparing for our move to Australia... saying good bye to friends and neighbors... sorting through and packing our things.  Selling off our cars and many pieces of furniture... finding a home for our Oscar kitty....We slowly are simplifying and letting go.  There is lots still to do.  The moving truck arrives this week to pack and load the things we will carry with us to Australia... all will be loaded into a shipping container which will travel on a 75 day journey over the Pacific Ocean.

As we were packing up a few toys, Thomas shared some new found wisdom...packing up his beloved Legos he announced,  "Mommy, I thought this was going to be hard.  But it's really not.  It's kind of fun!"  It is an adventure of grand proportions for our family... to leave the comfort of our life here behind and prepare to set up a new "home" in a foreign land.
 
There are a lot of details still to unfold, but one thing is for sure, our Heavenly Father will guide and direct all the details and we need only trust in his sole provision for us.  This is where we will rest today.  In His sovereignty.
