Movers

Today is the day the movers come. Well, I THINK today is the day. They are 2 hours late. So, I am passing the time by telling you that they are not here hoping that while I am typing the doorbell will ring.......okay....waiting........nothing. I am going to go eat a Krispy Kreme.

Sunsets in Kansas

I like the sunsets in Kansas. They illuminate the entire skyline and they last forever. The back of our new house faces the west...it will probably be my favorite part of the day...sitting in my kitchen while the sun sets. I wonder what the sunsets look like in winter....

A Princess Story

Once upon a time, there was a princess living on a Paradise-type island. She loved her home and she loved her favorite trees and flowers and she loved her water splashing beaches and she also loved her computer. One day, she heard the news from the King that she must leave her place of perfection and move to another kingdom. She was willing to obey her King. She was willing to leave her home, her trees, her flowers and beaches...but, what of her computer?

Her computer worried, too, that they may be separated far too long. The princess assured her computer that she would wait until the last possible moment to send it on the long voyage to the new kingdom. And true to her promise, she waited. The village packers came and her computer was the last to be loaded onto the special carriage of transport. "Good-bye, sweet computer! Good-bye!" she called, "It won't be too long until we are together again!"

The journey to the new kingdom for the princess and her family was a long, yet fun journey. She encountered many new kingdoms along the way. But, back in the depths of her mind, she remembered her computer and prayed that its journey was swift and free from obstacles.

The princess arrived at her new kingdom with anticipation in being reunited with her computer. But, something was wrong. Her computer was not waiting for her! Days passed. Weeks passed and no computer. "Oh, where can my sweet computer be?!?!" wailed the princess. She sought out the King for wisdom and presented her petition before him. The King looked thoughtfully at the princess and told her that he purposely delayed the arrival of her precious computer because it had become too valuable to her. She had given too many thoughts to it that should have been for her family and ultimately, to her King.

She listened to his wise words and agreed with him. The next day, she told him that she loved him MUCH more than her computer and whenever he saw fit to reunite the two of them,, she would accept his decree. The King thanked her.

The following day, a courier arrived at her temporary lodgings. He carried with him the news that her computer was to arrive in 2 days. The princess smiled and loved her King more than ever.

The end.

Is Wichita a happening place?

Well, I'm not sure yet. I am usually without a car stuck on base. So, I haven't written anything lately, because there isn't really anything to write. But, I have confidence that one day, I'll be able to venture off the base, on my own, in my car, and be able to explore the wonderful things that Wichita has to offer. Wichita, please wait for me...I promise, I'm coming to visit you.

Why I love the library...

I love the library. I love to be surrounded by shelves and shelves of the written word. All the different color bindings and thicknesses and heights...ahhhh. I love the children's section where all my favorite titles await me to read again and again and again. But, today, most of all, I love the library because of the internet access. I love the speed and the big screen and the lack of worry that I might drop the "signal." Thank you, library. Thank you.

TLF vs. House

Living in a TLF (temportary lodging facility) has it's advantages and its disadvantages. Advantages include: housekeeping, free utilities, living on base...and I can't think of anything else. Disadvantages: size, size and size. Our countdown for the closing date for our house is clicking away day by day. Hopefully, we can close by the 25th of July. In the meantime, I am going to TRY to post pictures one more time.

Hurrah!

We found a house! It's official! We are very happy and we are excited! We are thanking God for His provision. I will attempt to post a picture or two...

Houses, houses, houses....

All of our time in Kansas is house searching...so far. Our military accomodations are small and cramped, but we are thankful for a place to sleep other than a hotel. :-) I haven't even seen the base b/c we just look for hosues. I'm sure that all will fall into place at some time in the future!

I am just continuing to pray that God has the perfect house for us...exactly where He wants us to be with the neighbors He wants us to interact with, etc. etc. etc.

Lord, I put my trust in You....again.
