The Lord has answered the biggest prayer of my family's!!! DH and I and our three children live about 3 hours away from our hometown and all our family. We've been out here for 7 years now, and there is no chance dh will ever move back home. While I've been glad to live here and not have to deal with the issues of his family (which is why we moved) I still miss my family fiercely, and that feeling has only gotten worse since having children. I've felt so bad that my children are missing growing up with grandparents nearby, and they don't have cousins to be close to like I did growing up. It's torn me apart, wanting to be two places at once.
My parents put their house up for sale two years ago, first with the intention of just moving into the country, and later decided they wanted to move out by us. They finally gave up on selling the house though, and decided if it did sell before their contract with the realtor was up, they would just stay in our hometown and rent a house until something in the country came up. DH and I were heartbroken by that decision. Well, two week ago they sold their house. I've been feeling more and more every day that the Lord was telling them to move out here, but didn't want to push the issue with my mom because she was so tense about everything going on. They could not find a place to live. They had at least twenty different places they called on, and for one reason or another, not a single one worked out. Tonight they called and said they've decided to move out here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have two jr. high age sisters, and I'm SO happy my children will grow up close to them now! And I no longer will have to miss everything going on in my sister's lives! The is the biggest and best blessing we could all get!!
