Looking forward to this week:
Finding out which house we're being moved to so we can our move organized


Tips and Tricks:
Moving is an integral part of military life, we've learned to become pros at packing up a house and being gone within a short period of time.  Whether you're doing a full move yourself or having the movers do it for you, I ALWAYS pack my own boxes and keep an inventory of what I have in them.  I assign them a number and write down the corresponding number on a sheet of paper with details of what is in each box.  When we get to the next house, it's much easier to locate whatever I'm looking for.




My favorite blog post this week:

Me and my girl

Lesson learned the past few days:
That pain and heartache hits everyone and you're not immune.  My family is having to go through something heartbreaking and we're all struggling to stay afloat and deal with the news.  I can't go into detail but I ask you all for prayers, we need a LOT of prayers to surround us all but especially my dad and stepmom.


On my mind:
My father and stepmom, they are going through a rough patch and I really would appreciate some prayers for them.
Our upcoming move within the next week or two.


Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:

As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God.

Psalm 42:1
