A new beginning

Well.

As of last night, my husband is the new pastor at Mid Valley Baptist Church.

Wow.

I am sort of in shock.

Yes, we have been praying.

Yes, we have known it was a possibility.

Yes, we wanted it.

But....WOW.

Big changes.

We will be moving down to California in about 2 weeks.

That is not much time.

We will be temporarily staying in an 800sf apartment over someones shop until we can find a house.

They have 5 acres & we will put up pens for our animals.

We don't know yet if we will look to rent or buy.

Houses are expensive down there. And our house still has not sold.

So we will be looking for a renter for it.

Any takers?  ;)

So we are pretty excited & nervous all at the same time.

And I am feeling overwhelmed with the thought of packing up & moving: our house, 2 shops, a pumphouse, a garden shed, all of our yard furniture & decorations, 1 horse, 7 goats, a dozen rabbits, 40 odd chickens/geese/turkeys, 2 dogs & 4 cats, all of their feeders, waterers, tack, equipment, cages, travel cages, fencing panels, t-posts, etc, etc, etc. Not to mention my family :)

Mind numbing isn't it?

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  Phil 4:13

Blessings.

  3. Just remember, Everything you do in God's Will, He will see you through it.

    But I must admit, it does sound very over whelming. Prayers to you and your family.

    Keep us posted on things are going.
