School picture day

Today our girls got all prettied up for school pictures. Here is a picture of them taken by our good friend Lawrence, who adores them, and had to stop working to take their photo. I love that we have a pciture of them in the sanity-saving, life-giving tiny house garden. I would lose my mind were it not for this little fully fenced yard.




I am convinced one of the reasons God took us out of our old house (and He did say that clearly to me during the gray fall of waiting , "I TOOK YOU OUT OF THERE." as clear as few things I know I have heard in my spirit) was because I could not send the kids out to play in the yard and I did not feel safe with them playing outside. God knows what we need in a home better than we do, I have learned, and it is important to learn what each one of us needs. It is a big deal. we have sacrificed a lot in this season, but we know more what matters.

This Pic is currently my background. I do miss these girls. There's been 2 worship times in the last 12 hours with prayers and tears headed towards your end of the world... Tell them Uncle Stu loves them and Definitely has not forgotten about them!

It gives me peace to read these words from you, Jo. A peace for you that you so clearly heard from God that he had done a saving thing for you and peace that you have your tiny house with it's fenced in backyard.
