We successfully moved! The
Lord provided everything we needed, like strength and energy, help, and a house. We were cutting it pretty close, waiting on whether or not Scott was going to be replaced as field guy. Those situations
make us trust God more. We have no choice. I like it that way. :)
We love our new place and are
so thankful! It's a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, semi-detached at the end of a street which just so happens to be the backyard of an elementary school including a
playground! We're mostly unpacked. Scott put pictures up today and now it feels like home. The girls are having way too much fun being in the same room now, it's pretty much adorable.
We had Lucy's belated birthday party with my Mum's side of the family this afternoon. It was a scorcher, we were all sweating! Then it down-poured and I got my arm soaked trying to close one of the front windows.
It has been so
encouraging and refreshing to actually be able to see my husband and have him home for the evenings, now that he's not field guy at the farm. We're praying about future income possibilities(mainly more time for ministry), if you could pray along with us it would be much appreciated. Scott is still working at the farm for now, just 30 hours/week instead of, you know, 75 hours/week. I'm NOT sad to see the month of June has passed. What a trying time! Between working those hours, him preaching full-time, moving, and me being sick plus pregnant...good times, for sure!
My Mum, Dad, Shawn, and Aunt Liz were exhausted too, I'm sure, from helping me take loads over to the new house almost every weeknight for a week! We're
so thankful for the help of family and friends (including our loving church people who brought meals!)
The Lord taught us much though and continues to do so. We are encouraged!
Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure.

Yeah all moved! It s so refreshing being in a new place and knowing that the Lord worked out all the detail! Maybe I'm just totally behind in the times, but is Sctt pastoring or was he Illinois in for someone?
Ya, Scott is assistant pastor at our church and was preaching full-time while our pastor was away for the month of June. He also worked full-time at the farm, but would rather just preach full-time! We're praying that could be the case in the near future, instead of getting another full-time job. :)
Been thinking about you alot lately!!! So good to hear your all moved and settling in. :)
Thanks Amy! That means a lot. :) How are you feeling these days?
