Ok, y'all. I'm going to put this out there so that you can all encourage me and keep me going. Chris and I have decided to put our house up for sale in April.
I need encouragement to keep the focus on what is important. I get discouraged when I think about our house; thinking that we'll always be stuck her, that we don't make good financial decisions, that our kids won't get the best childhood experiences if we don't have a better house, that life would be easier if we didn't have to drive forever to go to church, etc. I get focused on all of the negative things, and forget that I have no control over any of that, anyway. So many times, I just try to do everything on my own, and forget that God is in control of it all, and has a plan for me and my family that is better than anything I could think of. That's how we got into this home in the first place! If we had waited on his timing, I KNOW that we'd be in a different place in our lives. But I choose to look at all of the positives that He has provided while we've been in this home.
I need encouragement to keep energy when it comes to cleaning out the house. I have this need to throw out everything in our house. But then I get busy with life, my new Thirty-One business, (plus I think I'm literally addicted to the computer!), and I don't work on things that I know are important. I even do that with Chris and the kids. I need energy and focus to get all of my work done, but everything else done, too. Oh, and I'd like to feel no guilt when I can't get it all finished!
Please pray for our family. We'd like to know that we're making the right decision, and that it would all go smoothly. Thanks so much!

Hey Kim, I'm just now catching up on blogs. Keep your head up with the house. I know Nick and I felt like we were never going to get out of our old house. We pushed hard and put it on the market last January (hopefully to beat the spring rush of lookers) and it sold in 6 weeks! I KNOW it was totally the LORD...and the people who bought it looked at it on one of my worst attitude weekends about it being on the market. God's plan is the best...and HIS timing is PERFECT. Praying for y'all...we defn. know the feeling of wanting to move and get closer to church.
Haha, talk about keeping up with blogs, I just read this! Thanks so much, Jaime. It's been a rollercoaster year with this, that's for sure. I appreciate the encouragement, because that's exactly how I feel about it most days. I guess we'll see what happens!
