New beginnings! Many of us know that our lives go through stages. Some are more easily adapted to than others. My newest beginning was our move to Florida this year. Leaving behind all family and friends has been difficult to say the least!
During our move, we left behind two of our adult children, both of my boys! My girls both have made the move with us and we are all adjusting to the new home! I had worked so hard on our home in Illinois to make it a warm & cozy place that everyone wanted to be in and then we moved into a home that was sold "as is." Can I say that we've had our work cut out for us!
However, throughout the entire process, I constantly remind myself that I can do all this through Him who gives me strength. Phillippians 4:13. Buying a house as is means that there is so much work to be done in order for me to feel as though our home is once again the warm & cozy place that I had created in our previous home of 16 years. Working part-time, taking care of 4 dogs (yes, I am that woman who rescues dogs), and keeping up with our daughter's schedules will not give me the luxury of pulling it together as quickly as I would like to, but since I'm a thriftier at heart...it wasn't going to happen all that quickly to begin with.
Come with me as I transform our new Florida home into a place that I feel I can truly call home.
God bless,
Lynn
