Well I am counting down the days, I cannot tell you how excited I am! Having 7 people in a three bedroom apartment does not work- at least not comfortably! What was supposed to be a two month stay in temp housing turned into 6 months! Well time is almost up and surely you can understand my excitement!

This is a page out my "Welcome Home" mini book - these are quotes and scriptures I want to put in and around my house somehow - haven't figured out how yet but I'll figure it out. ***
Meanwhile we are settling in - at least trying to! I did sing yesterday at church (we are going to a church close to our new home) and the kids are making friends. We are about 40 minutes away right now so the kids do have to transfer to a new school in the fall. ( Which is why we wanted them to make friends at church!) Yesterday I sang "Blessings" by Laure Story. If you haven't heard it, I put it below so you can hear it - it is an amazing song.
*** I will probably do a scrapbook page with some of the lyrics - about our kids and their special needs and what we've been through...it's very powerful.
Here are the lyrics
***
We pray for blessings We pray for peace Comfort for family, protection while we sleep We pray for healing, for prosperity We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering All the while, You hear each spoken need Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things
Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops What if Your healing comes through tears What if a thousand sleepless nights Are what it takes to know You’re near What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
We pray for wisdom Your voice to hear And we cry in anger when we cannot feel You near We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love As if every promise from Your Word is not enough All the while, You hear each desperate plea And long that we'd have faith to believe
Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops What if Your healing comes through tears What if a thousand sleepless nights Are what it takes to know You’re near And what if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
When friends betray us When darkness seems to win We know the pain reminds this heart That this is not, this is not our home
Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops What if Your healing comes through tears And what if a thousand sleepless nights Are what it takes to know You’re near What if my greatest disappointments Or the aching of this life Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy And what if trials of this life The rain, the storms, the hardest nights Are Your mercies in disguise
I hope this speaks to you and blesses you. Let me know what you think!
