Day 5--Are we done YET????

Total whirlwind...that is a great way to describe day 5!
To start, the lane we live on is so narrow that the huge moving truck could not fit down it! So, they had to park on the main street, and tranfer everything, one load at a time, down the lane. I felt so sorry for the movers. It was so hot and they had quite a load! Eventually, they had everything inside and their job was done.
My husband, kids and I got super busy. We were unpacking things and searching for things. Most of all, we were elated to see our things again. It was like a big piece of comfort was delivered to us today. We set the new living room up exactly like our old one.
Several wonderful things happened today:
I talked to so many familiar and wonderful people from home on the phone today. I actually spent quite a bit of time chatting away as I unpacked our things.
A delivery man knocked on the door and asked for me. I RAN to the door, because I saw he was holding a gorgeous bouquet of flowers. I couldn't open the card fast enough! They were from my good friend, Carol, from Illinois. They came at a perfect time. God is so good. I was hot and tired and missing special people from home, and here comes a flower delivery. I felt missed and loved and thought about, and it was a wonderful feeling!
My son's behavior changed today too...for the better. It was as if he saw some of his favorite things being unloaded and suddenly realized, "Oh, we may have moved, but I still get to keep things that are special to me!" He really calmed down and began to have fun and play with his toys and organize his room. I felt like I got my boy back today. Praise the Lord!
My hasband went to sign our son up for day camp. It starts in July and most of the kids attend this camp every day in the mornings. They do the most amazing things all summer. Anyway, my husband was signing him up and the man organizing the camp was asking about our move, etc...My husband told him that our daughhter was in high school and we are trying to come up with ways for her to meet other teenagers. The man said, "Is she looking for a job?" My husband said, "Yes! She was planning on going around town this Friday to put in some applications." THEN...the man told my husband to bring her in and they would interview her for a job as "camp counselor." In the middle of the chaos, my husband drove her to the interview, and she got the job!! She will be with the third and fourth grade girls and she is so excited! I had just written in a prior post that we have really been praying that the Lord would give us wisdom, discernment, and that He would lead and guide our every step and decision. Today was not a coincidence! The Lord was leading and guiding her into the job that will be just right for her! I am in awe of Him.
I went to the mailbox and had a letter from my sister. She wrote, individually to each person in my family. It was so full of emotion and love, and we cried while reading it. They were happy tears...I guess there were some sad tears in there too, because we love and miss her so much, but they were mostly tears coming down as we were smiling and reading her love letter. It meant the world...
It is getting late now and we are all running on empty. My husband is going in the morning to try to find a doctor. He started feeling "not so well" before we left Illinois, but now it has turned to total congestion and it is in his chest. Prayers for him are greatly
appreciated. I feel so sorry for him because he is working so hard to get us settled, etc...but his body is fightinh him. Thank you, Jesus, for his total healing!
We have also made another decision today: We are in no hurry unpacking these boxes. There are too many of them and too few of us! We will work on it for a few hours each day, and save the rest for the next day. It'll all be unpacked eventually!
