moving prayer request

Post by mamas4bugs » Sat Oct 04, 2008 2:39 am

Good morning Ladies! Well, it's morning where I am, anyway. :D

We moved from Texas to England back in June. We had the movers come to our house in Texas in May and take our things away. We were quoted a 4-6 week delivery time. My husband was a little concerned that our things would wind up in England before we had found a house here. HA!! After much ado, many phone calls, and several frustrated emails, by the grace of God our things were finally delivered (19 weeks later) yesterday. Finally, no more sleeping directly on the floor! The kids have their toys! We have all of our books! YAY!!! God is good!

Unfortunately, the moving company managed to, um, lose some of our things. The kids are sleeping on their mattresses on the floor because the moving company misplaced parts for not one of my children's beds, but for all three. They also did not bring two chairs, our two school tables, and a box of board games. While I am extremely thankful that all of that which wasn't brought is replaceable, it would be expensive. Please pray that they locate the rest of our things and get them to us quickly. I mean, the floor is a fine place, but we're sort of tired of sleeping and doing school there. :P

Oh my goodness! That is just crazy. Can I just say you have a wonderful attitude about it. I am stopping this morning and praying specifically that the Lord would help the moving company to find those lost things. I am so glad you did get your other things, however!

Mary!!

OH, it is a small world. :) We've actually met. Do you remember the very first Winterpromise convention in Florida? I'm Shaunna--the one who was fostering babies. So nice to "see" you again! :D :D


Thank you for the prayers, Candice. It really hasn't been so bad. We're just sorta ready to be done with the floor now. :P

19 weeks! Whew, I do believe you deserve a medal! :D I'm very impressed by your happy disposition about it, but I too am stopping to pray that your missing things are located soon.

In Christ,

mamas4bugs,

I'm stopping to pray for you and your missing items right now! What a breath of fresh air you are though, as far as bearing trials with a sweet spirit! We'll pray your missing items arrive soon! :D

Blessings,
Carrie
