So Many Decisions

As I have wrote on a couple of different occasions. Harry and I have a lot of decisions to make in the next couple of months to a year. It seems that every time we turn around we have more to decide. Sometimes I wish I could go back to being a kid, things were so much simpler back then, even though I am sure I protested that statement at one time or another. Here is our list so far...

1. Insurance - with me having baby #3 is it economical for me to go back to work just to carry the insurance? Is it better for us to buy insurance through an independent agent? Or does Harry need to find another job that has benefits?
2. Where to live - our ultimate goal is to buy a farm, raise beef cattle, chickens, pigs, along with Ellaree's long list of animals she wants, and do some cash crop. With this said we would like for both of us to be to be at home farming together within 5 years.
3. That brings us to our next decision - when & where to buy a farm. When is a good time? Is now a good time with the economy the way it is? Will the prices go up or down in a year? Where do we look?
4. Homeschooling vs. public schooling - this one is a huge decision on my part as the responsibility would fall primarily on me. I want the girls to have the fun and interaction that I had growing up but at the same time I am not sure that public school is the best option. Can I really teach them everything they need to know? Do I have the patience from God to really teach them every day their individual lessons?

As you can see we have a long list of things to talk about, pray about and wait upon the Lord to lead us. Sometimes the waiting is the hardest part. If you know me at all I am not a patient person and I like things done right now and my way! Yes I have mellowed in my years but I am still like that in many ways. I want the post-its to just flutter down from God with what to do next and in this order.

I guess what I am getting at is if you could please pray for us and our continual journey of patience, guidance and understanding that God has this under control and we are to sit back and enjoy the ride. We are trying very hard but struggling at this daily.
