We left The King's grandmother today, who is 83. She cried and could hardly breathe causing me to do the same. When you are her age and your family moves away... it might be the last time you see them. She assured us she would be fine and had lived through her own children moving across continents. God brought them home. I believe she prayed them home and safe during their travels. She is a mighty prayer warrior. Who could ask for more?
We sold our house...well, not technically. We have a contract, but we know the family and highly doubt they will back out. It makes my heart smile to think of that precious family in the home we have loved so much. God gave us the home...we gave it back to Him and tried to honor Him with it as a ministry at every turn. Now the ministry will continue. Our last night in that house we prayed over the family that would move in...who would have thought we would already know and love them?!
We spent last night with friends dear to our hearts. We would loved to have been with many more, but time would not permit. My dear friend had knee surgery and cannot get around like she's used to...so we converged upon her house. Lucky for us her sweet Meemaw (everyone calls her that) cooked dinner and fed us well. We were blessed to be with our pastor and his sweet wife as well. Coming home to that much love is totally humbling.
Thursday was FULL of sweet remembrances that we'll need when the road ahead gets challenging and we want to come home. As it is, we are excited about this next season.
Seasons come and go, but the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. Rest in Him today. Hug someone today! Bless someone today with your words and actions. You are loved.

I did a little victory dance for yall when I heard about the contract today!! What a relief!
I love that you can use words like "excited" and "content" when describing your current emotions about this new journey you're about to embark upon. Praise Him!
He is faithful.
He is enough.
I don't like reading these...I think I've been living in denial...I know I won't get to see you before you leave and so I don't want to hear about you leaving. I love you so much. Jared asked me the other day if I could have dinner with anyone who would it be and I said "Reg" !!
You are in my prayers today esp. and every day. I am so excited for you! I praise God for you everyday! Keep in touch!! Love ya bunches!!!
