Francis Chan - Balance Beam

Friends shared this video by Francis Chan with us last night. I could definitely relate to the "safe life" he talked about. This is a great challenge to me to think about how we can live a life of radical obedience to God.

Let Them Eat Cake!

Our baby is 4 years old!! My, how time flies! Little M helped make her "Strawberry Shortcake", and the Keegan's and Randolph's came over to help us eat cake. Mema, Pepa, & Nana joined us on Skype. We had a great night! Tomorrow is a special shopping trip with Grandpa. Happy Birthday, Little One!

Welcome to our first blog!!

Hi Friends,

We are so happy you have visited our blog! Bear with us as we learn to use this tool.

To begin, let me explain the name, "The Waiting Room". It fits where our family is in this time of our lives, waiting. It has been "many moons" now since we began the process of moving. We are eagerly counting the days until our move, but first we must sell our house, so we are waiting. However, I have described this time in our lives as the most comfortable waiting room I've ever been in! After spending the last 3 months de-cluttering, sorting, yard-selling, scrubbing, peeling, and painting, with the help of a wonderful army of God-loving friends, we are greatly enjoying the fruits of everyone's labor as we WAIT in our very clean, beautifully updated, and freshly painted house!!! Our home has never been lovelier, and I want to deeply thank that army of friends (The Lord's Army ;-)) who helped in the labor of love that was necessary to get it ready to sell. Our friends have loved us sacrificially in each step of our transition, supporting us with their prayers, words of affirmation, finances, childcare, and time. Thank you with all our hearts!!

And as you can see, the sign is finally in the yard and we are preparing for our second open house this weekend. I can't believe it's already been a month. How time flies!!! Of course, the real estate market is slow right now, so we could really use your prayers as we WAIT for our buyer to step forth. Feel free to pass on our house info to anyone you know who might be interested...
