I wouldn't dare NOT comment since you DEMAND comments. LOL

I have worked the church's program for codependency. #1 step of 12 is admitting that I am out of control. #2 is knowing that God is in charge #3 is me letting God be in charge. It sounds so easy on paper, but it really is a choice and a decision at a time.

It is such a breathe of fresh air. I don't have to worry. I do what I can, and let God do the rest. Great message.

He truly is in charge and we are so much happier when we let Him be.

I can't do it.
He can.
I think I will let Him.

I love the thought about vocalizing it each day. I’m going to try it! (hopefully I will REMEMBER!!) 🙂 Thanks for the lovely post.

I’ve never thought of it that way before, but I’ve made a conscious effort (ie, it’s on my daily to-do list) to pray every morning. And that’s basically what I’m doing, admitting that God is in charge and it is His day. I might not consciously remember that throughout the day. But it’s made a difference and I’m now at the point when I feel that I haven’t done it (and not just because I can see that it isn’t checked off yet).

I think we have 2700, even though it looks super small on the outside, its' actually bigger than you'd think.

I think it's a good size for us and our three kids. Definitely room for everything. I'm not always in love with the layout (I don't like that the master bedroom is on the main floor and all other bedrooms are upstairs, for instance), but it's perfect for us.

I am glad you're going to AZ. YOU are the queen of the house. You really need to know what you're buying and see the area before you make a decision. Yay.

Good luck!

We moved from 1100 to 3500. Wow. That was a huge change.

This house has a lot of formal spaces: living, dining, along with a family room and a huge bonus room. We have three dedicated bedrooms and one they called the 4th bedroom, which you walk through to get to the bonus room (which is our play/laundry.) We can't really count on that room as a bedroom so it's an office.

Like you said, layout is more important than square footage. Our kitchen is large, but it's so poorly laid out there's a lot of wasted space. I think 2500 is a nice number. 2,000 can be done with all of you, but it had better be impeccably laid out.

I hope you find the right position for you.
