WOW...
this spoke volumes to my heart. The timing of the
message could not have been more perfect. Last week I was
freaking out over Christmas, Jude's b-day, Chr. cards, Lance
taking boards, etc. Then, God said to me "trust in ME alone, cast your
anxieties and worries aside" and showed me where my heart needs
to be on a day to day basis.

Tannenbaum take 2
Well, I redecorated my tree again. Oh yes I did. I had to redo it now that we are in a new apartment.
What?
Oh, you didn't know we moved? Yeah, we did.
Well, early Monday morning we woke to flooding in our apartment. Early meaning 2 am. So, we did the whole try to protect your belongings thing. We diverted water any way we could think of: sweeping with a broom, makeshift sandbags, scooping it up with a dustpan, digging trenches, blocking flow with towels and bailing with buckets and garbage pails.
Oh yeah, did I say that water is COLD in December? And, I was wearing sandals.
So, Monday afternoon through last evening we moved to a new apartment. I am happy to report that the only opening was for a 3 bedroom apartment, so we have been upgraded! God continues to bless us. Sometimes we just need to trust God a bit more.
Me? I was thinking at 4 am Monday that this was a horrible, sucky thing to have happen, what with Lance taking his boards next week and Jude's b-day party on Saturday. Now, I see God's plan to move us to a new apartment that suits us just fine!
Of course, what are we without family, church and friends? We couldn't have done it without them. Help came in many forms: providing meals, prayers for our well-being, phone calls and emails of support, watching the baby and the work of many hands helping to move us.
Thank-you doesn't seem like enough to say...
