One More Week

Well, we have moved out of our house and into my grandmother's apartment. The apartment has been such a blessing to many of our family members over the years! It is, once again, to us! Thanks Grandma & Grandpa! One week from right now we will be settling into bed in our house in Costa Rica. WOW! Bo & I are really excited. It is hard to believe that the time has finally come! The kids are a little apprehensive, but I know it will be a great experience!

We are still waiting for our house to close and pray for that to happen tomorrow! Bo has a ton of work to wrap up and I am just finishing up our packing! Things are coming together! I am so thankful for our friends and family who have been supportive and continue to pray for us! We leave Bartlesville on Friday for the weekend in Fayetteville with my parents then we fly out of Tulsa on Tuesday Oct 30th at 6:30 am! We should have more pictures up soon and video of our new home shortly after.
God bless!

Lose My Soul

Our family has always enjoyed listening to Toby Mac! We especially like this song right now "Lose My Soul" There are many statements that speak to me- "I'm not gonna let these material things get in my way, I'm trying to get somewhere (Heaven), Father God I am clay in your hands, I don't want to gain the whole world and lose my soul, Where's your heart?, What's your title?, The first thing to prosper should be inside of me, How do I sense a tide that's rising- desensitizing me from living in a light of eternity? Lord forgive us when we get consumed by the things of this world, That fight for our love, and our passion, As our eyes are open wide and on you. Grant us the privilege of your world view, And may your kingdom be, what wakes us up, and lays us down." I want to be wide open and available to the blessings that God has for me and our family. I want to have a heavenly focus and not such an earthly one! I want the Spirit inside of me to grow more than anything else! There are so many distractions trying to get us away from that focus!

Doors Open

It seems like things are falling into place pretty easily. It seems like the doors have opened easily for us to continue the process of going to Costa Rica. We are thankful and praise the Lord for selling our house so quickly. Now we are in a sprint to pack and move out by the 18th! We are excited to get started on our adventure. We are a little nervous about the unknown and so much time missing our friends and family, but we know it will be a great experience! Bo and I have been having many conversations about what we want to spend our time here on earth doing, what God has for us, and what kind of legacy we will leave. We want to be still and quiet and have our eyes open to what God would like to show us! There is a ton of work to be done and we will take deep sigh of relief on the 30th of October when we board the plane for Costa Rica!
