Packing...oh the joys!

Mike and I began packing this last weekend. We started by sorting through all our stuff; and let me tell you, we have some stuff. What's surprising is how much stuff two people can accumulate in just one year. I don't really remember buying a lot, but somehow we have more than we did when we moved in; funny how that happens. There are a lot of things that we will be donating to people who are in more need than us.

While the sorting is not much fun, the reminiscing down memory lane is quite fun. Oh how it seems like some of our favorite memories from childhood were just yesterday. For a moment it makes me want to travel back in time, yet there is still a sliver of curiosity that keeps me clinging to the future.

As the stack of boxes grow, the moving day is quickly approaching and our excitement for this new adventure continues to grow. While we are still unsure what this next year will look like, we are looking forward to learning all that God has to teach us. A few ways that you can be praying for us in the next two weeks would be:

1) That we would have strength to finish packing and wrap up things in Omaha.
2) That Mike and I would speak words of love and encouragement as we enter into a very stressful few weeks.
3) God would continue to bless us financially as we prepare for a year of little income.
4) That our hearts would grow sensitive to Gods early guidance in this new adventure.

We are very thankful for all of your prayer and support during this time.

Welcome to our lives.

Welcome to our blogspot! Mike and I are very excited to have this new venue to be able to share what is going on in our lives and how God is working in us. In case you don't know, Mike and I are moving to Wisconsin in just two and a half weeks! Yikes! It is this new adventure that inspired this blogspot. We are hoping that this will be a good way to keep family and friends up to date; perhaps it will also be a great way to "journal" about what is going on in life- funny how the times have changed and journaling is writing personal information for the entire world to read. Either way, we will do our best to keep this up to date for all that care to read.
