Moving Time

My husband and I were content to see how this year would go with living so far away from his work. As December came and new ideas came into our heads, we felt more and more impressed to move to the farm.
We have a home there for us but it is unfinished (just studs and electrical). We calculated our finances and decided we needed to start finishing the house so we could move by June. The kids would be out of school and have the summer to make friends before school starts again. We would be there for crop season to lesson our travel stress too. We want to be with my husband more!
My husband's brother has been generous and will let us stay in his basement as we work on the house over the weekends. He also said we could live there if it isn't quite done by June.
We are amazed at how quickly life can change and how much more able we are to be motivated when we have such sure answers.
Our oldest was quite upset by this move and we told her that we prayed about it, and we know we need to move to do what's best for our family. We told her that if it is difficult for her then she should pray about it and get her own answer. She is doing better now.
