Today, and all days, I seek the Lord

I've had a humbling experience lately... I've revisited my spiritual side and realized that things go much better when I leave things to God and his timing. Why do I get so caught up in trying to manage my own life. I know that God has a plan and I need not rush it! I'm emotionally spent. A bunch of things are going on in our lives: selling our house, looking for a job, our cousins are about to be parents (that makes us jealous, well me, anyway), my "little sister" is pregnant (that makes ME jealous), we miss Oklahoma, we love Kansas, not looking for a job so we can move back to Oklahoma, planning on when we can start planning on a family of our own, not ready for a family of our own....

Do you see what I mean?? There are so many directions WE want to go when we realize WE need to slow down and let God handle it. Trust me, He knows what He is doing! I need to learn patience in the Lord. I'm very thankful I have my faith and I pray for the patience I need to get me through the next couple of months.

I leave you with my favorite song right now: Above All by Michael W. Smith

Above all powers
Above all kings
Above all nature
And all created things
Above all wisdom
And all the ways of man
You were here
Before the world began

Above all kingdoms
Above all thrones
Above all wonders
The world has ever known
Above all wealth
And treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure
What You're worth

Crucified
Laid behind a stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all

still selling the house

I'm not happy about this "showing" process. I thought it would be simple. It wouldn't be a big deal to know that if an agent planned to show at 2:30 I would need to be gone (with Sadie) for at least 15 minutes or so. NO BIG DEAL... right?

Well, today the "showing" agency called to let me know that an agent wants to show the house from 2:30 to 4. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH A DOG FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF????? Grrrrrr.....

When selling a house...

Lots of things are going on in our lives right now! We have put the house up on the market and are going through "showings" right now. Which, has upheaved my normal routine! It's hard to get any work done when I get a phone call saying an agent is coming over soon...

We have a dog, Sadie. She runs free in the house. So, when an agent is coming over for a showing I have to gather up the dog and we go hide for 15-30 minutes or so. So, we've been going to the park just down the street and taking a long walk.

Our first experience with a "showing" happened this morning!!! Although, I didn't get a call saying anyone was coming over! They showed up while I was Hoola-Hooping in the living room!!* So I quickly gathered up Sadie and went for a walk.

I'm excited there are people asking about the house!!! Two showings already and it was put on the market Friday!!

*While at the Affair of the Hearts show this weekend in Tulsa, my sister-in-law and I bought hoola-hoops that are designed for exercise!! It's weighted with water. Fun, fun!

my brother the high school senior

Last week I was able to spend the week in Chickasha with my family. The plus to that was I also got to schedule some senior portraits shoots! They were a blast!!! I have posted a ton of those pictures on my photography blog: TP Photography. BUT I will post these of my favorite little man on earth: my bubba, Matt.
