We're Here!

More accurately, we've been here for a little over a week. I am still not sure how this happened, but the simple answer is God. For those of you who don't know, we recently decided to leave Las Cruces and move (back) to my hometown of Rio Rancho. We are currently living with my parents, which was pretty much the last thing I ever expected. But I'm grateful. Grateful for family, for rest and most of all for God's provision. He is SO good.
We had been hoping to move for months. Actually, about a year. We were pretty certain we wanted to go to Phoenix, and then after really searching our desires and looking at our situation, we decided a move to a cooler climate was a good idea (especially if it involved some live-in baby sitters). Being close to family with this second little one on the way suddenly became really important to us. And that's for more than just convenience.
All this to say, we had been trying to sell our house (actively) for about 4 months. We had a lot of hits, with no real bites. And then we decided to just go. It wasn't until we made a step forward that the LORD made a way! I'm so happy to report that it will soon be off our hands. The most exciting part about it is that I know that house will be a blessing to the family who's moving in. He always has everyone's best interest in mind.
Now we are working hard on remodeling a room that will act as our own little studio while we stay here, and later on can be used as additional living space. We're anxiously awaiting the arrival of Baby Asher. I can't wait to hold another precious newborn and learn all about this little person God is forming. We're enjoying time with family and we're pursuing our business here in the Rio Rancho area.
It's an exciting time, and I stumbled across this passage today. When I read it, it was undeniably a timely word for us:


He led them by a straight way
to a city where they could settle.
Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for mankind,
for he satisfies the thirsty
and fills the hungry with good things.
Psalm 107:7-9



Hoping you're on the way to everything you've ever dreamed :)
