Surprise, Surprise!

Guess what? I am packing. Yes, my friends. Packing, again. There are cardboard boxes in my living room and more that I must pick up from a website list, for free. My little ornaments and wall paraphernalia is coming down and lots of paper is being used to wrap them and put them in those blessed boxes. I get to hold them in my hands and remember the funny parts of why I got them or made them. For example, I have a beautiful bellows that was given to my husband by the Tio Pichi. All the way from Bilbao, the Basque country in Spain, where supposedly my ancestors came from.

Or the exquisite square that was crocheted by my sweet daughter and the pattern is called angels, in pink. I framed it and hanged it on my wall as a reminder of her love and of her prayers for us. I also have an old silver plated baptismal bowl that was given by one of my mothers.

I am also packing little sand bags I have picked from the different beaches I have visited and rocks and shells. It almost sounds like I am a little pack rat, but believe me it is just little sentimental things I have collected and are projects waiting to be finished.

I just completed packing the 6^th box tonight, and I am happy I am starting early because I do not want to be stressed out and be running around like a headless chicken in the mess on the last week of August. I remember receiving a prophetic word about moving and I think that it will be fulfilled that day when I will put all my earthly belongings in a truck or pod and take them to a new destination.

My friends, your prayers are coveted. We are not sure what we will do. We have been talking about maybe buying a house or townhome that would not be our forever home, but would be a renting place for when we move again in a couple of years.

We have been looking around the Orlando area, and cannot find something that will be to our “liking and standards” as our realtor said (smile) and that will also fit our budget. I read somewhere that we can ask for signs to confirm or not what we should do, so I am asking for a sign. I cannot tell you what it is, so feel free to put a good word or two with our heavenly Father on our behalf.

I will try to keep you up to date with this never-ending adventure.

Much love and many blessings to y’all!
