How to enjoy life...

So I was going to complain that I am really sick of being in "house selling, always have to have it clean, leave at a moment's notice, no sleep, stress all of the time" mode. But then I remembered something that my friend Jenny has on her blog:

"The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same." --Carlos Castaneda

Thanks to all of you that remind me to try to be positive and cheerful and "this too shall pass". I guess I could learn to take the advice I've dished out to two people this past month--If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it! Oh to have more faith...gotta work on that one. I really am so thankful that the Lord gave Cody and I the promptings that it was time to sell our house and to move to Germany because we had been searching for a while for the direction we should take for our family. And even though this brings so many "unknown's" which I hate because I am a little neurotic and always like to play it safe and plan everything down to the smallest detail, I know that everything will work out the way that it is supposed to. And what a comfort it is to know, as my favorite scripture says, "that it is by (Him) that (we) are led."
