The bad news is that I am the lone packer. Richard has class Monday through Saturday with a special session these next two weeks. But that brings us back to good news -- I'll know where to find things when it's time to unpack. : ) Great tips! Thanks so much.

Pack no heavier than you can move yourself. Your back will thank you when you're left alone to set up your new house. For me this means stationing the box on the floor and carrying things to the box, rather than packing the box on the bed or table and then having to move the box. 2. Label, label, label with a bold marker as you go - on top and at least one side of the box. If it's fragile - mark that in red! If you know what room those boxes should go in your new place - mark that on the box. Makes Moving In Day so much easier! Two quick tips:

It reminds me of how important it is to pray for our spouses. Has anyone read the book, What Can Happen When We Pray for Our Families? I think that's the title. I recommend it. I appreciate your mention of timing and your persistance with your request. Looking back, I've had several prayers answered after years of prayer. I needed that reminder today because I have several others that still haven't been answered. It's sweet to think that maybe one day soon, I will see God's answer. What a touching post.

I have heard the word "move." Now I'm waiting for the where and when. Thankfully I have people around me who are supportive as I wait. I've been here before and moving when it's God led, not me led, is amazing to watch unfold. TIMING is everything! Thanks Suzi! I have heard the word “move.” Now I’m waiting for the where and when.

When God gives us a word, we need to wait on Him for timing. Ours is usually way before His! Great post and a very good reminder. When God gives us a word, we need to wait on Him for timing.

My husband is studying computers in hopes of making a career change. Last year he took a co-op position with a major steel mfg. - a big leap of faith since it offers no benefits and is not permanent. Looks like it's going to end in December so we are praying it becomes full time (it's a job he actually enjoys). Kind of scary wondering if he could be unemployed in a few months and searching for a job in a new field is kind of overwhelming for him. Sometimes I feel like I'm the one listening to God for both of us - just where we are right now. Anyways, great story - thanks for sharing! Sorry I can't offer to help you pack but if you need a few tips from having moved like 10 times in about as many years, let me know!

We'll make a point of riding them once or twice a month, and also get to visit his parents, who live only 50 minutes from our new home. Win-win. But I will miss seeing them daily, and watching them run and play while I write. Annie, Apache Moon, and Grace (our horses) will go to Richard’s dad’s farm, which is kind of cool.

I love that you spoke out loud what God had told you, but also trusted God to speak to your husband as well. I know I get tempted to go to either extreme--insisting on what I think is right (my own way) on one hand, or refusing to say anything out of fear on the other. You spoke the truth in love by telling Richard what God had said to you, but waiting for God's perfect timing. Great story. I wish I lived near you I would adopt Annie! may you feel the nearness of God as you move forward! Suz,
