Six Places to Live

Ok so this is my first try at blogging. I've always enjoyed writing so I might as well write about the people and things I love! I will begin by saying I really don't know if I'll have time to keep this up but as I get more organized around here I will have more time for it.
That is my mission these days, to become organized again!! I say again becouse once upon a time I felt like the Queen of Clean and Orderly. After living in six homes over the past two years that kinda fell apart. Yeah, SIX!
It all started on Parkway Drive, one of my favorite places, in Kosciusko. I still remember very clearly the day I was standing our bathroom on the phone with Phillip discussing our situation & the things we wanted, and having no idea of the things that God was planning for us. That bathroom had a big glass block window and in the daytime lots of light filters through. It was a really pretty room painted favorite tan with marble sink and big jetted tub. I sat down on the edge of the tub that day and said "Well why don't we just put this house up for sale along with the rental house on Cavalier? Let's just see what happens..." Oh Boy! Things started happening!! Phillip wasn't sure at first, we really loved living there, it was clean and spacious but not so big as to be a hassle to take care of. We had a huge back yard and fun wooden playset that he had built for a girls. Jenna was born shortly after we moved in. We had only been there about two years. At that present moment the new pastor at WBC was living in our house on Cavalier, he and his wife were getting settled and looking for a home in town to move to permantly. Eventually Phillip came around to Mama's way of thinkin' and put our house on the market. As you might have guessed, Bro Jr. and Miss Margaret found our house on Parkway and were ready to buy! So they were living in the house on Cavalier and purchasing the home on Parkway, which meant we were selling the house on Parkway and moving into the house on Cavalier! Switcharoo is not so easily played when it's two homes you're switching. Surprisingly we got all our stuff sorted out and into the right places. So a great bible verse to sum it up? Ecclesiasties 3:1 and part of 6. "There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven:...a time to keep and a time to throw away" Just as that first of many moves was the time to organize and pack away things that once meant so much to me, that time has come again. It is time to throw away!! I love it that I can find bible refrences that support my organizing habits. The Lord truly knows our hearts and our needs! In the spirit of the new year and in the spirit of the Lord I am on a quest once again to become the Queen of Clean and Orderly!
I will pick up the moving story where I left on in my next post! Until next time, love and peace to you and yours!
