How does selling our home now specifically relate to our adoption? We want to provide stewardship (stewardship n. - the conducting, supervising, or managing of something; especially: the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one's care) over the waiting time before Boaz comes home. Once Boaz gets home we want many things in our life to be as stable as we can prepare them to be. His life up to that point will have been full of change and potentially turmoil. It seems ideal to move before his arrival. We also need to complete an 18-month home study update due in August. When you move you also have to complete an update so this way we are attempting to knock them out at the same time.
We proceeded cautiously with the idea to sell our home. We have been very blessed to have our current home. It was our first home and has welcomed two children! But with a growing brood of boys, we decided it would be very important to have an outdoor space for them to explore, learn about chores/responsibility and to just plain burn energy. We have no idea of exactly what the house or property will look like. The real estate market in our area is moving really fast. We are praying that we will have wisdom on the right house to choose and that we will be financially responsible.
What are we doing in the meantime? Moving in with Grandma and Grandpa K.! Please pray for smooth transitions with our family and that we will be patient to wait on the timing of the Lord's provision for our next home.
This next year will definitely be a time of change but we look forward to the adventure! Stay tuned.
