just today.

did i mention that i have only been home for three weeks? and everything - i mean everything, i.e. credits transferring, car hunting...car purchasing, home-finding, date-setting, liscence getting (actually, we're still working on that part.  but we'll get there).  you get it...all of the elements of making a move, a million calls and arrangements it seems, have happened in three weeks.  my dad has been the hero of making it happen - he just jumped in and knew what to do, which he's really good at in general.  then mom has been the hero of keeping dad okay, especially today.  oh my goodness.  let me tell you about today.

today was going to be the day that we left - dad, cj and i - because i didn't mention it before, but this is a move-slash-college-visit-tour.  so we're all going.  and there is that part about i can't legally - or even illegally - drive yet.  don't get me wrong, i am so excited to visit colleges with my sister (guess that's the little admissions intern in me) but it does add another element for an already-too-unreal adventure.

so yes, today was going to be the day.  until we discovered that the jeep we bought for the purpose of said adventure is not ready to go.  and she needs more than just a little work.  now, finding and buying this car has been a big part of these past few weeks, and it was somewhat of an act of faith just trusting that it was a wise purchase.  so now we're in a position of needint to trust again...i really have no idea how all of this will work out, but you know what?  i have seen that it is so much more important to fully rely on the Lord than to try to fix stuff like this myself, or even to lament the situation.  it is what it is, and i want us all (my family and i) to come away from this having learned more about trusting and the God in whom we trust.  and so, we pray.  please pray with us:
- that God would make a way for us to go through with this move, if it is His will, and that we would heed his instruction in this time of complete...i don't know, not-control.
- that we would be given wisdom as to how to handle the financial decisions that need to be made in this time
- that He would alleviate anxiety and instill peace.  deep, lasting peace, in our hearts, to see us through this bump in the road.

He is making all things work together for my good.  I know it, beyond any shadow of doubt.  I hope that you are being given opportunities to trust in the Lord as well, even in these little things - how sweet it is to know and trust in Him!
