Do You Remember These?

Do you remember this picture? This was taken back in January of the 28 boxes that we shipped to England.


We were told we could expect them to arrive in 4-6 weeks. It has now been over 13 weeks since we have seen them and we still don't have a delivery date. We did find out last week that they are now in a port on the South coast of England and are waiting to get through customs, but customs is backed up due to the Easter holidays. Once they clear customs they will try to schedule a delivery date within 15 business days.

This is beginning to get a little frustrating as we are starting to need many of the things we packed, including summer clothes, Gary's tools and most of the children's school books and toys!!!!

I know the Lord is teaching us patience, but it's not a lesson I like to learn and I know I'm not learning it as graciously as I should!!!

Ug, I hate lessons in being patient :) Trusting your things arrive sooner than anticipated.
