Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.” (John 8:12 NLT)

I don't really feel like I have anything clever to say today but it's been way too long since I've updated the blog.  Bryan and I had some life changing events occur over the past year, obviously.   It caused us to take a look at our lives and re-evaluate what was important.  We kept hearing, "SIMPLIFY".  We decided last October that we needed to sell our house.  We listed it For Sale By Owner and didn't get a ton of action.  There were at least 9 other homes on our street that were for sale.  That was scary, to say the least.  Some of those homes had been on the market for 2+ years at that point.  We knew the market wasn't good but we also knew that God was leading us down this path and if it was His plan, it was going to sell.  Nothing happened for several months until a realtor called us and asked us if she could talk to us about listing it.  We ended up hiring her and she sold it in 92 days.  That's a miracle in this market if you ask me.  The family that bought the home was looking for our exact home, everything about it was what they wanted. 
We are now living in a townhouse that we love.  We decided not to jump into buying another house, only having 2 weeks to pick one.  We want to take our time and really find the home we are supposed to be in.  Things are falling into place for us.  Bryan enjoys photography and has been offered the opportunity to take photos of houses for a local realtor.  It's been a huge blessing. 
More to come soon!!!!
