Nelson and I have been trucking along with our move plans. In two days, our house will be loaded into the truck, and in a short 9 Days, we will finally arrive to our new house in Leland. The time is flying so very quickly. The reality of our huge move is really starting to hit me as most of our belongings are in boxes, and every free moment is spent packing or getting together with friends and family for goodbye dinners/lunches/parties. It is a somber, yet exciting time, as we face one of our biggest life changes. We are leaving all that we know... our family, friends, home, and stability. But it is with a purpose, and a callling, having faith that as we follow God's will, he will provide for all of our needs.
And, on that note, I will share how God has continued to amaze us by filling our needs. You see, that new house that we got in Leland, has two detached offices. We were confused why God would provide us a house with detached offices, but we knew they were there for a reason. God had a plan for them, and it has been revealed! I posted last that I turned in my 4 week notice at work. Well about a week ago, my boss offered for me to keep my job with reduced hours, working from home in Leland. I was shocked, and amazed by this offer. One of our biggest needs in this move will be to find jobs. While this will not provide all that we need, it is certainly something! And I was leaving my job with great concern over the program that I have built from the ground up. It made me sad to think about all of the details of this program, slipping through the cracks, without my presence. And now, I feel great relief knowing that I can see this project through its entirety. Thank you Lord for your faithulness. You never cease to amaze me!
I know that as we move forward, things will not always be easy. We would have no reason to turn to God in faith, if he provided for every detail without a little heartache and sweat. But for the moment, we are thankful for the details he has continuously pulled together. Even right down to us finding a home for our old, old cat. God cares about even the smallest things. Just rely on him and he will come through.
Well, we must get to packing. Lots left to do. Pray for us during this transition. Pray for our packing, safe moving, and for God to reveal our roles with Crosswinds Church. Pray for Crosswinds, as they approach their opening date, and are already bursting at the seams in their informal services. God has a plan, and it is big. Pray that his plan be unveiled to all involved. Take care and God Bless!
