Schools Around The Corner...

Been awhile, been a busy few weeks. We moved into our new home a little over 2wks ago. We've loved every moment of it so far (even the leak in the kitchen ceiling!) We had great friends who helped with the move (no joke, started at 9.30am and had everything in our new home by 2.15pm). No looking back, it's been great. We've settled well and getting to know our neighbours too. Really excited as to how Gods gonna use us and our/his home. We feel so blessed as to what He's done for us.

Above is a photo taken last saturday of my daughter in Glendalough. She loves it there as she has her "very own" secret path and gets to visit Rapunzels tower. Anyway, tomoro is a huge day in her little life...She starts school. I can't believe this day has come. She's well ready for it, I'm just not sure that mom and dad are! She's so so excited about it and we are too. Its amazing to watch her grow, learn and appreciate many things around her. Her heart is massive for people and shes got a special merciful spirit about her too.

I'm looking forward to see the impact she'll have on her classmates and teacher.

House To A Home

This week we leave our "home" to move to our new "home". Now when I say leave our "home" I really should say house, as that's what it's been over the last 6 months. There's a saying "Home is where the heart is" well our heart has not been in this place for the last number of months. That being said, our current house has many great memories. We've been living here all 8yrs of our wonderful married life. We've seen our children born and have such fun here. We've had many special times here with many special people. But now this place is just a house. It's like God has prepared our hearts to leave this place.

We're moving to our new home this week. God has brought this place into our lives in the most remarkable way. At the beginning of April we saw the house that we knew God had for us. Ru and I had talked as to how we'd know....well we just knew. Ru was so convinced, she wanted us to claim it straight out! Faith or What!?! So often when we look back on our journey we can see the moments of faith that define the future. We saw the house on Sunday and got an offer accepted on the Monday. Very Quick. I wasn't working for 2 months (no wage) and we got the keys for the house a week in to my new job starting. God continues to Rock (in a very good way!) our world.

We are so ready and so excited to move into our new home. We're looking forward to seeing how God will use it and us in the future. Naomi has already made friends with the girls next door. In fact while I was dropping some stuff off at the house yesterday the girls came in to me and talked to me for 20mins. Very cool, funny and sweet. We all feel very good about this place and the seasons ahead!I need to remind myself of this as we pack up and sort stuff out this week.

Blessings...
