i'm a homeowner people!

I've been having a crappy week.  Make that two weeks.  Actually, make that a month.  Sure, the home buying process is stressful, but my process was surprisingly smooth.  I had a great realtor, a cool closing attorney, and quite possibly the best mortgage guy.  The stressful stuff is the day-to-day crap I do, along with other small things that truly shouldn't be stressing me out the way they are.  But at the end of the day, I'm still stressed.  I received this awesome email the other day:



"It seems like the air is heavy these days and the unspoken stresses are at an all time high...these things draw us to God, sometimes saying, "Really, is this what I am suppose to do?"  Keep on asking, keep on believing, and I am saying this to myself as much as I'm saying it to you."




This is what I needed to hear; needed to be reminded of.  I need to turn to God in these times of stress and uncertainty.  I need to focus my attention on what is truly important - that I have a Redeemer.  These little stresses that I have going on right now, in the grand scheme of life, don't matter.  I'm going to do the best with what I've got, and roll with it.



I closed on my house on Thursday, the 28th... I started moving stuff in, but today is the big moving day.  Three friends from church are meeting me in about 45 minutes to help me load bedroom furniture into Uncle Dan's truck.  My family is driving up from Chesapeake with a U-Haul and should be here in about 90 minutes.  It's supposed to be 97 degrees today... yowza!



Let me tell you, I feelin' the love today folks!



The next time I post, I will be blogging from my new house :)
