Being Still and Knowing He is God

We spent a whole month in Minnesota and we are now in Indiana at Dad and Shirley's. Brad has been working a lot of county fairs with the flagpole business, but these little fairs haven't paid off for all the effort he has been putting in. The last fair he and one of his salesmans fairs paid off on the last few days. Things are looking better as far as the business goes. He has some really good county fairs coming up before the state fairs start in a few weeks.
We have been praying and searching for places to live in Indiana and all doors to anything we find have closed in one way or another. We really are not feeling peace about living in Indiana. We are all uneasy about it, even though this is where Brad's territory for the flagpole business is. We are prayerfully seeking God's direction and plan for our lives. We really are beginning to feel like Minnesota may be where He wants us. Which we never imagined returning home ever. After 15 years, Minnesota sounds really good to our whole family. We want small town rural living for our children to grow up with. We have so little time parenting our children and we want to make the most of the time we have left with them under our roof!
We currently have people searching for farms for us in Minnesota in the Granite Falls area. 95% of our familes live in Minnesota and it would be so nice to be a part of their lives. We have spent so many holidays alone and the older we get the more we realize the importance of family and being close to them.
We are being still, knowing that God is in control of our lives and His plan and purpose is what we want our lives to be. I have been reading James and am now reading Job. If I could be a tiny portion of the God followers/faith believers that they were, I would be rich beyond measure!
Until we hear God's whisper, we wait at His feet and on our knees!
Prayerfully seeking His face!
