Please pray for our family during the next several days. This is the most disorganized and stressful move we've ever had. I can't convince the moving company that I can't be in MD to take delivery of my furniture if they won't bother to tell me when they plan to deliver it (sigh). My husband is spending every waking hour at the MD house, working to get it ready, so we're both trying to get more done than one person can really do. The kids are trying to cope with their stress and mine.

In the light of all the intentions being held up for prayer here, I know my worries are small and will go away as the move progresses. I'm trying to offer up my difficulties for all of these important intentions.

However, I would appreciate your prayers as we struggle through the next few days. Your prayers are not only powerful, but healing.

Thanks, everyone.

Not trivial at all in my book. And my thoughts and prayers and hugs are with you, Nancy. And I'll send my guardian angel over to help out, too.

Oh, Nancy, prayers coming. I sympathize since we just moved this spring--such an ordeal and it was only across town!!

Pace yourself. Do what you can. Encourage each other. Laugh here and there (and cry, too).

God will provide. . .

Prayers coming.

Nancy,

I soooo know the feeling of military life and moving!! We'll hopefully be in your shoes next summer (with a little one added to the mix ) and I'm sure I'll be here asking for prayers as well.

Be assured prayers are coming your way from our family.

God bless you, Nancy! I think moving is right up there with the top five stressors...

You ladies are awesome!

This is the best day I've had in just weeks, certainly since our sailor was killed. I still have way too much to do, but I managed to smile all day even though I was not packing, but turning in my article, answering the phone, and herding dozens of little dancers through their first-ever recital rehearsal.

I just know it was your prayers that helped me calm down and take things as they came.

Please ask St. Joseph to intercede for my husband, who's up doing flooring work on our house in Maryland, so that the work goes smoothly and quickly.

Thanks again...just another 4Real prayer miracle!

OK...we're leaping off the cliff...packers arrive tomorrow.

I don't know when I'll be able to post again. Thanks again for your prayers. We're doing OK...stressing, but OK...

We still need St. Joseph's help; we need to install the quarter-round for our new Pergo flooring SOON. Please pray that we'll be able to align dates, travel times and furniture delivery so this can happen.

You're all in my prayers!
