Moving

Because we have moved 3 times already in a year, why not move once more, right?! As most of you know, this past year hasn't been exactly easy, but it has been sanctifying to say the least. It is a crazy journey that the Lord has purposed for us and there are still things about it we totally don't understand, but He is good. The greatest joy has come from knowing that our Savior is good, that He restores, and that He is faithful in all that He does and promises to those that are His. 

It has been so much fun and such a joy to blog about our pregnancy, and the sweet blessing of a little guy who is on his way into the world within only a few short months. Ahhh! We so look forward to continue sharing our journey through parenthood and surrender of this child daily to the Lord. We know that our dear son is the Lord's, and we are expectant for Him to be the one who guides our steps of this unknown territory of parenthood just as He has through this past year of unknowns. He has been ever so faithful!

We are beyond grateful to share that we are not just moving for the heck of it. On September 29th, we bought our first home! We close in only 2 weeks and could not be more thankful!! The inspection is complete, and now we play the waiting game until closing and move-in.

I love our red door! We are moving from Keller, Texas to The Colony, Texas. This will now change Cory's commute to work from an hour and a half (sometimes 2 hours) to 20 minutes with traffic. What a blessing that will be for him! I am thankful that his drive will be close. He is so ready. Also, I will finish work in December so I'll have to make the treck back to Keller for about a month BUT I want to say now that it will be totally worth it to be in our home! Right now, I only drive a mile and a half so I'm pretty spoiled. We will also be only 20 minutes from our church! 

I am ready to do some cooking in this here kitchen!

As of now, we are packing like maniacs. We're also trying to decide on colors for the nursery, but I just am so terrible with decision making... can't I just pay someone to come make all these decisions for me? Oh, if only...

My exhaustion has returned but I'm guessing it's due to all of this crazy, fun running around. Can I just be honest? I despise packing. We have done this so much we should be pro's by now but we absolutely are not. :( As much as we dislike the packing process, it is so exciting to know what we will unpack these boxes into!

If you think to pray for us this week, please pray for our hearts as we are going through so much transition. There is so much going on in both of our hearts as it should be with all of this newness around us coming, but we want to actively be pursuing and listening to the Lord. Pray that we could quiet our busyness enough to simply be still and be in His presence. Also, that we will continue engaging those around us and those we are in community with. May the Lord be exalted and our hearts be stirred to worship during this time. Pray that we will find and get plugged into a home group quickly when we move. This has been the true lifeline of the body of Christ at work within our past 2 years at the Village Church, and we know that God is sovereign over this all. We ask for an incredible community of believers that we can learn from, grow with, and one that will support us in loving our son well.

Thank you for those of you who ask for ways you can pray and who truly do bring our requests to the throne! We are so grateful for your prayers as they are heard and felt.

Cory & Hannah
