This has been such a trying time in our lives! Trying to sell a house for 6+ months with 3 little boys while your husband is gone and traveling all the time is no fun! I have found myself complaining way more than I ever should, I have had a few pity parties, and I have had my fare share of complete melt downs! Thankfully the Lord is so faithful and so good to quickly bring me back to reality and realize how very blessed we are! So even though it has been no fun keeping a house clean at all times with three messy boys, I am thankful that I have a home with 3 messy boys!!! God has taught me so very much through this process and I feel like it has brought me to a new and deeper level of my relationship with him! I've been mad, I've been hurt, I've been over joyed, I have felt it all! The one thing that remains the same is, God is still God and I am sooooo not!! He deserves all glory and all honor, even when my prayers aren't being answered the way I would like!! He is in control and has a perfect perfect plan! The Lord did sell our house, and for that I am very thankful! But through it all I have realized how the Lord hs blessed us with the most incredible friends! I mean these aren't just any kind of friend, these are my very dearest closer than family friends!! Thank you Lord for blessing us beyond measure not in material things, but of things that are eternal!! THANK YOU!
Our dear friends came and helped me pack up my house while Jaafar was out of town. They not only packed up our house, they went on to clean it all leaving me with very little to do. They were even cleaning my toilets!! That is true friendship! The thing that is the absolute greatest about all of them is they LOVE to do it! I was ready for them to leave after they packed up our stuff, but none of them would leave until the house was clean!! They are precious to me and I am so thankful God blessed us with amazing friends who have walked beside us and just do life with us every day!!!
Packing up the last of our stuff!! Chase was stuck in the POD!
