Its been a month since we moved to Miami

We have been in Miami for a month now.  I am still having a hard time with the move.  I struggle daily to find the purpose in God's direction for our family.  I realize and know full well that sometimes we are moved our of our comfort zone and its not for us but for His kingdom.  I wish i could see that this move was going to be something great for our family but in heart i feel that this move had nothing to do with us, our quality of life, our pleasure, our happiness or our enjoyment but more to further the Lords work.  He can do His work with or with out us so I should be honored that we have been chosen to be part of His plan.  right now in the midst of things its hard for me but perhaps one day i can look back and see how this was an awesome thing for our family to have been part of Gods plan and work.  I have to commit to being content in EVERY situation.  this is a tough time for me (by the way my family is doing great with the move)  but In my heart i really do know that this is what we were supposed to do and I am praying that my feelings will change as i continue to live out the actions that I know please the Lord.   

Coach has jumped right in to his routine.  He has football workouts every day from 4-6.  The kids are enjoying spending time at my friends house because she has a lake in the back and only lives a few blocks away.  The house we are renting is very small but so close to everything.  that is a definite pluse but the space thing is frustrating sometimes.  I don't feel like inviting anyone over since we can barely fit our family.  Coach and i don't have a bedroom because i am using it as a work room.  We have made 2 offers on forclosed houses but the market here is hot.  Things are priced much lower than they were years ago (still expensive though) and as a result houses fly of the market.  One of the houses we bid on had around 30 offers.  that would have been a great house (close to school and friends), pool, boat parking, big eating area for great dinners with friends and family,  awesome curb appeal and GREAT price  BUT we didn't get it.  The second house we bid on was big, newer, close to our first home we owned,  huge lot, pool, HIGH ceilings, Mud room, large living spaces BUT we didn't get it.  I am fine with not getting that one since the property taxes were going to be about  $10,000 a year.
