So, we unload part of the truck and finally get the kids down at 9pm. We are sleeping on mattresses on the dining room floor...camping, right?
Because we didn't get everything or have time to clean yet, we head back to Maine the next morning...okay, well after getting up at the crack of dawn and unloading some more.
I'll spare you the details, because, cleaning is not one of my favorite topics but we ended up having to rent a trailer for the rest of the stuff there and I pulled it...backing up was HILARIOUS! But anyway, we cleaned everything and headed for our new adventure!
Then I was having some panic about it all. Kinda like buyers remorse but over the lease and money and stuff. But, God kept whispering to me, once again (I'm sure he must want to pull his hair out over having to remind me of everything time and again) that he is in control and to remember the miracles he performed already! Boy, did I ever have to keep remembering!
We got the truck unloaded, into the garage, returned it and started setting up house. I described the house in another post but we literally did not need the basement space at all.
One thing the Lord continued to point out to me, is that even in this house, he gave us more. I do believe that God doesn't close doors without giving you something better.
This house is one example. We have four bedrooms, instead of three, we have at least 400 more square feet. The space itself is just a better layout for us. There's a little bit of seclusion so Gaige wont obsess about neighbors. I could go on, but the BEST demonstration of him giving us more is...the bathtub! You Mainers got to see the amazing tub we had at our Revere house...but this one...is bigger and has bubbles! Baths are super important to me and my daily (generally) me-time! So, its been a blessing I feel God did just for me. He's good...all the time...even when things don't look so good!
