Who wants to buy a house? :)

Next up on our list of things needed to accomplish..... sell our house. This is probably one of the biggest road blocks for us with getting to Africa. We have been working on it as we get the money and will hopefully be putting it on the market within the next couple of weeks. Where are we moving once the house moves? Well.... good question. :) When I know the answer I will let you know. We have had some very close (and very generous) dear friends open their house to us as well as my parents. We are also considering an apartment. We would like the cheapest option, but at the same time the most realistic with 4 young children, one of which a newborn. So right now we are just praying about our options and seeking the Lord on them all. Once the house sells we are focusing hard core on paying off our debts as quickly as possible and then will eventually start raising our support.
This whole process is so raw to us. So many raw and new emotions, sometimes daily. Such a pull to a place we have only been once, yet feel as though it is truly "home" to us. Such an urgent feeling in our hearts to be there NOW, but going through the sometimes feeling never-ending process of actually getting there. 100 % complete and total reliance on God in a way I have never really experienced before. Selling the house we have so many memories in, and selling many of our belongings and the kids not understanding why all of it is happening and asking a million questions. And yet, knowing it is all SO worth it and it is the absolute least we can do for our King. I know for both Brian and I we are falling more in love with Christ and learning so many humbling lessons along the way.
Baby update: I am now 18 weeks along and we will be finding out what the baby's gender is in less than 2 weeks. Brian can't come with me to the ultrasound because he got a new job and can't take time off yet, so my mom is going to come. I am really excited for her to come and see the baby and share that moment. She has never seen an ultrasound before, so it should be a good time. :) I am feeling great pregnancy wise and falling more and more in love with this sweet little baby every day. The girls are in already head over heels with baby and talk to my belly daily. Kayden could really care less. :) I had a root canal last week and as awful as it was, it was so worth it!! My mouth which had been in pretty bad pain for a few months feels awesome now!!
We are learning to be steadfast in this process and are so excited for what the future holds. God has been so faithful to us and continues to blow our minds. Each day is a day closer to our goal. We would really appreciate prayers concerning our house selling quickly. Thank you all!
