Our Move

I've received lots of questions about our move from Facebook friends. Here's the skinny on the Heineckes. Next week when I really return to my bloggy love, I'm going to share with you some lessons learned from packing. Y'all come back now, ya hear?

..

This fall we decided to sell our house in an attempt to "beat the potential downward turn in the market." Eventually we'd like to get a house a little bigger for our family but we're not risky enough to chance having 2 house payments. Knowing the current economy could possibly produce lower home values we decided it was time to sell, save and wait for a good deal. A steal. A bargain. A home appointed by the King.

..

We are moving into a rental we own, literally a few blocks away in another neighborhood. The house is smaller and older and that's okay. We're trading our pond view for a view of Santa Fe avenue from the back yard. And you know what? I AM VERY EXCITED. EXCITED TO WAIT AND SEE WHERE GOD TAKES US NEXT. Maybe it will be in the next 45 days, 6 months or even years. It is hard to wait on the Lord sometimes but so much worse to wish you had.

..

This has been an excellent lesson for me in trusting the foxy Mr. in financial decisions like this. Let's just say I wasn't too chipper the first time he suggested the idea of downsizing. He has shown amazing leadership in our home and really cast the vision for the boys who have genuinely allowed the Lord to change their hearts too on the situation.

..

As a family we've prayed for and praised Him for the buyer of our current house, thanked God for our rental and now we are praying for His direction for our future...where ever that may be.

..

So, as I grout tile, wash the floors, clean grody showers and knock wasp nests from my new front porch, I pray the Father continues to teach our family about the joy of delighting ourselves in Him. May He be ALL we ever need.

..

The move will be completed this weekend. Yee-haw!

Thanks to Pastor JT for doing some of the handywork. He doesn't have a blog so I'll plug Mrs. Pastor JT. :)
