I think my title well-describes what this week has been like for Nick and I, even though I stole it from a Bill Malonee song. So many things have happened, good and bad, but I think we are finally edging towards peace in God's plan.
Nick is going through a job change (the details of which I will spare), his mother is dealing with some changes in her health, we are about to either rent out or sell our adorable but far-away-from-everything house, I am thinking about going to seminary, and we are leaving Wednesday for a week to go through the interviewing process with the North American Missions Board in Seattle. All of this has been alot to bear.
In many ways, things for us were going so good for so long, that my heart had become very hard and avoidant of God, that I can already see how He is using this to bring me back to Him. I have been reading in Hebrews about becoming more mature in Him, and I have definitely been sucking on milk for about 8 months or so. Time to move on, sista! I have also been very comforted by the music of Patty Griffin (thanks to Nikki) during this time...it's odd how a little bit of sad music ("Long Ride Home") can cheer you up. :)
There's my update. Sorry I didn't write anything interesting enough to start some kind of blog revolution.

Brittany-
I am praying for you and Nick as the Lord is taking ya'll through so many changes.
I'm glad to see a new comment on your blog. I've been checking it a lot and waiting patiently to hear something new!
Thanks for your prayers, sorry to sound so overwhelmed (and perhaps whiny?), but it reflects my feelings at the time. God is giving peace, giving grace, and eyes to see His blessings daily.
