Changes, Blessings and a Big Move!

It has been quite some time since I last wrote and we have had some rather big changes in our world!

About a month ago we came across a house in the area near our church. Just about everything about it fit exactly what our family has dreamed of. Rick and I had always dreamed of living in an old farmhouse down a gravel road off of a gravel road. This house was as if it had been set aside just waiting for us to come back! God arranged all the details for us and all we had to do was say, "yes!"

And so, here we are! We moved the first week of November and have been busy setting up our new house. It has been a nice adjustment to be back in the rural way of life. Time just seems to move slower here, and it just makes for a peaceful way of life. I hired one of the youth girls from church to help around the house once a week, and the help is amazing! I feel like I have so much more time and energy to devote to my family and home.

God has really blessed our family and provided for us in ways I never could have imagined. Even when we our foolish and turn away from His will, it is as if He is waiting patiently for us to come back. He not only allows us to come back but then provides for us in such huge ways! What an amazing God we serve. I am so humbled by His love for me.

As soon as I figure out how to upload pictures from my phone I will post pictures of the new place.

In Christ's Love,
