Welcome Home!

Well, the first mortgage check has been written and cashed so I feel it is time to publicly announce that the Ferguson family has officially been relocated! In an incredibly odd turn of events, God has placed us in our new home, which just happens to my old home. How cool is that? My children will grow up in the same house that I made some of the best memories in. I can barely even say that sentence without tears welling in my eyes. That is just so incredible to me. My son will play in the same dirt that kept us entertained for hours. My girls will learn to swim in the same pool that I celebrated my 8^th grade graduation (a great memory for me, a not so great one for the parents). Hopefully one of them will get married in this house, where their father and I were married. Maybe one of them will sneak out of the same windows that I did in order to run away from the oppression of such evil parents who really don’t understand her…which reminds me, anyone know where I can get a good price on prison bars for basement windows?

I just want to say thanks to God for blessing us with such an amazing home and opportunity. I have been so humbled these past few months as God has brought us to the end of trial after trial. Every time I would think of how much I longed to have a house that we could call our own, I felt like the road to our driveway got longer and longer. But God always gently whispered to me that He knew where the road ended. I never in a million years imagined it being here, but I couldn’t be happier at His hand in our dreams.

As we get settled in, it gets easier and easier to let go of that tiny voice that keeps trying to convince me that at any moment I am going to be ripped out of this dream. I know that we are where we are supposed to be. I feel it in my bones. And even though I keep referring to our bedroom as “mom’s room” and to the family room as “dad’s theater”, I know that this is our home, and cannot wait to continue making memories and home videos on this piece of property!
