When one sees the phrase "Today is the day!!" it can mean many things; a wedding, a new job, a long awaited trip. For me, today is the day because I never thought it would get here. Today is the day of an answered prayer! The Lord is so faithful and good. And, with Today being the day I have definitely had to learn that patience is a virtue.
So what makes today so special? It's a Thursday, mid-April. Today I become a property owner! Today I purchase that little spot of land that I have prayed over my entire life. Yes, that's true. As a young girl I would sit in my parent's field, looking over the hills, and pray that one day I would have the opportunity to own that spot. Today is the day that a dream comes true and my prayer is being answered! Thank you Lord for Your faithfulness. Thank you Lord for Your love. Thank you, Lord! Lord, You know all the circumstances surrounding this sale. I pray You will guide the sellers. I pray You will watch over and protect. Thank you, thank you Lord Jesus!
My new prayer, other than protection and watching over my new place, is that my mobile home sells quickly! Lord, You know I'm going to be strapped until it sells. Please Lord send someone into my life quickly who needs a dandy little mobile home :)
Amen! Praise the Lord!! Today is the day!!! I'm so excited!!!!
Until next time . . .

What a month!
Wow, it's been a few weeks since I last posted. The last few weeks have been busy and super fast to say the least! Let's see, where to begin?
Well, the last time I posted I was getting ready to go on vacation. This is a vacation that had been two years in the planning and finally arrived! I traveled once again over the big pond; best known as the Atlantic. This time my destination was a Mediterranean Journey. It began in Rome, Italy - then Assisi, Italy - then Florence, Italy - then Pisa, Italy - then an overnight ferry ride across the Mediterranean Sea - and the final stop was Barcelona, Spain. What an awesome 9 days that was! Day three of the adventure was pretty awesome. I celebrated my 32nd birthday in Assisi! It was great!!
That's all for March excitement to bring us up to date.
April started out on a bang as well. April 1st, April Fool's day, was a hit! My dear friend, Jeni, and I got to see Kenny Chesney in concert! WOOHOO! That was great. We had wonderful seats, too. That was our first Kenny concert in five years as well as our fifth time seeing him together.
On this same day, yes April Fool's, I received a call that I've been working for for months; slightly over six months to be exact. It was the call to tell me my offer on a property had been approved! Oh my, this just goes to prove patience is a virtue! I actually had to call the lady back and make sure she said what she said and that this wasn't an April Fool's joke.
Next big thing, Dora School Board elections - Tuesday, April 5, 2011. I was one of 10 candidates vying for one of three, three year positions. I won!! I am so excited at the opportunity to serve my school. This same day, I put that property (mentioned above) under contract! The emotions tied into this day was almost overwhelming.
Now we're caught up. This week I have been busily getting paperwork, insurance policies, electricity, etc. lined up for my house closing; which is Thursday! For something that was back and forth and took forever to get through once the deal was accepted it has been going at lightning speed. So Thursday, April 14th, I will officially become a first time home/property buyer. The two little mobile homes I've owned don't count really. This is a spot of land I've dreamed about owning one day. God and I have had many, many a chat about this. I told Him when He was ready for me to have it He would make the way. And He did!! I'm already picturing my evenings of sitting in the back yard watching that sunset over the Ozark Mountains! Oh, I can't wait! Also on this day, I'm having my information school board meeting....so, big day!!
**if you know anyone needing a dandy single wide mobile home send them my way as I now have one for sale!**
They say good things come in threes. Well, I've had two wonderful things happen. I told my mom maybe that third big thing would be someone asking me on a date :) Have no idea who that somebody is, but you never know! Or, maybe I need to buy a lottery ticket! LOL LOL
So, that's all my news and we're caught up. I'm in such awe and amazement of what a big and loving God we serve. He is so good! He has blessed me beyond comprehension. I stand amazed and in awe of Him.
Have a wonderful day!
