New Adventures

This past few weeks I have been missing in action in Blogland. I have missed blogging and can't wait to get back to blogging consistently. Almost three weeks ago we moved out of my in-laws and embarked on a new adventure. I am so very excited about what God has in store for us as we enter into this new season.
We started managing a storage facility which is perfect for me to be able to stay home and be mommy and school my littles. So far it has been pretty busy as I learn everything and get into a new groove and schedule. I have to say though, it is considerably easier than managing apartments (which I spent 8 years doing) and I am so excited about how much less work it is. Having time to invest in my munchkins is the most important thing to me.
Our new place is truly an answer to prayer. I have been wanting a room that is designated for school but isn't completely closed off or small. Here we have a second living room that we have turned into a school/computer room. I also have a room that I am setting apart for crafting/sewing and we now have a guest bed. The kitchen is set up perfectly to have the kids cooking with me and there is a laundry room in the house (not in the garage). On top of all of that we have a huge yard and a huge garden area! I really am excited and in awe about how God knows all of the desires of my heart spoken and unspoken and is so faithful to bless me with a home that really works well for what we need. Our Heavenly Father really does love us and like any daddy would would want to do anything he can to bless his little ones God does that with us.
Here are some pics I have taken since we moved in.


Little Man learning how to mow the lawn. The lawn mower is not self propelled so he got a workout and a half while mowing.














 Strawberries that were growing on their own in the garden. A fun surprise to find this morning.



















The first flower from one of the zucchini plants I put in the ground a week ago.




I cannot wait to be able to bake the first zucchini bread of the season.





I've been walking in a season of learning how to trust in the Lord with reckless abandon these past few years and I am seeing how faithful God is. It is now the beginning of the summer season and the beginning of a new adventure for this mommy.



Trust in the LORD and do what is good;
    dwell in the land and live securely.
   Take delight in the LORD,
    and He will give you your heart's desires.
    Commit your way to the LORD;
    trust in Him, and He will act,
making your righteousness shine like the dawn,
    your justice like the noonday.
Be silent before the LORD and wait expectantly for Him;
    do not be agitated by one who prospers in his way,
    by the man who carries out evil plans.
Refrain from anger and give up [your] rage;
do not be agitated—it can only bring harm.
    For evildoers will be destroyed,
    but those who put their hope in the LORD
    will inherit the land.
    A little while, and the wicked will be no more;
    though you look for him, he will not be there.
    But the humble will inherit the land
    and will enjoy abundant prosperity.
Psalm 37:3-11 (HCSB)
