Noteworthy-A little bump in the road!

Here's a note to record the Lord's faithfulness throughout our life's journey. This is an email Mommy sent to friends and family after the contract on our house fell through... Hello friends and family! We just got news today that the "solid" : ) contract on our home is a 'no-go'. Although we were initially inclined to feel diappointed by this news, we'll leave it just as it is.... 'a bump in the road'. As we've been working our way through 1 Peter at church, I'm reminded that these circumstance happen to build our faith in a good God. So we are not losing heart, and still trust there to be a buyer who will find our home to be a perfect fit for their family, all in due time. Would you be praying with us for the sale of our home and that we would behave as His children during this time of waiting? Please pray that we would be able to move to KC together as a family, that our house would sell before our temp housing allowance runs out, and that I would stay encouraged while showing a house with two little rascals around! May our faith be proven genuine for His glory.... We're grateful for each of you! Blessings, Belinda (for my fellas too!)

Hakuna Matata!!!!

The 'Theme Song' in the McCulley household over the past couple of months has been Hakuna Matata, which means "no worries" in Swahili!!! Wyatt loves the movie Lion King and he couldn't have learned this song at a more perfect time in life... He sings it to me and it instantly reminds me to have more FAITH, like that of a child!!!! Wyatt has such a great perspective on everything in life (excpet when I say no to say, candy!)... Like when we walk outside on a 100 degree day with no air moving at all and he says, "It's a really nice day out, isn't it Mommy? Sky is blue! No clouds!" Everything in me wants to say, "No, Wyatt... It's too HOT!" but his sweet spirit is a humble reminder to be content and thankful for all things!

So life isn't going exaclty as I had planned right now... I'm not really in favor of uprooting already and making another move across the country, but it is the decision that has been made... So I'm doing my best to find rest in the sovereign One who's got the 'worries' all under control! Hukana Matata for the rest of our days...
