Yep, we’re packed to the eyeballs and ready to roll! We’re pulling out of North Carolina this Monday morning and making our way to Wisconsin! We enjoyed God’s blessing of family and church family while here in North Carolina and I was able to finish my Linguistic Write-Up paper with lots of support from family and lots of prayers from the Body of Christ! The mountains are especially beautiful this time of year, but they are made most beautiful by family. We will miss Mom and Dad and are so thankful for their love and support! We Love you, Mom and Dad!
We need and appreciate continued prayers from all as we travel the 736 miles to Wisconsin with our 4 kiddos and 2 carloads of stuff: that means the 2 drivers don’t get any breaks…. Pray especially in the afternoon–the body thinks that’s siesta hour!
Our friends Julie and Keith have offered a chance for a visit and a rest–a much needed rest to the tired drivers by spreading our trip over two days. We are so grateful that they have welcomed us to visit them in Kentucky on our way home! It will be so very good to see them again and see their new little one!
We look forward to seeing our beloved family and friends in Wisconsin again! We’ll be arriving on Tuesday, staying with friends in North Prarie and preparing to move into our new home on Saturday!
Thank you, Lord for gracious caring friends who care for our needs, even unanticipated ones! Praise Him with us for:
- a place to stay and rest on the way
- a place to stay while we settle in
- cars in good running condition
- kids who travel well
- family’s love and care while here in NC
- my ears have been med-free for 1 week and doing great!
Pray with us for:
- safety and alertness on the road as we both drive
- loving kindness between the kiddos
- patience with the kiddos
- missing family and friends we’re leaving behind…again
- health and energy for the next few days, weeks of moving in & unpacking
He continues to provide for us, and come through over and over again…and yet so many times we are surprised when He does. Like our housing situation for Wisconsin: we were unsure of how it would all work out, and the Lord allowed us to rent a place in the SAME neighborhood where we lived before leaving for training with New Tribes. We will actually be like 3 blocks from where we used to live. What a treat for us as a family experiencing so much transition and new living situations to be able to move somewhere familiar. On top of that the Lord worked it out so we are blessed with AMAZING rent for the area, a lower security deposit, flexible term on the lease so that we can move on to French study as soon as we are ready, 3 bedrooms, and the list goes on.
