What a season we have been in. After YEARS of praying, talking a bit of arguing (It's real), and more waiting, we made the move to Tennessee. It was time. Three of our four kids and their families are there, two of my three siblings and their families are there and 6 of our 7 grands are there. My folks moved there last year. It was time for us to join everyone. A dream in the making for many years, 27 years to be exact. When we were in California with all of our tiny kiddos and each family started dispersing for work and lifestyle choices, we said then, "One day we will all be together again." We made that promise to each other. And this is that day! T and I prayed we'd find some friends to buy our home. No easy task, just saying, BUT GOD! I prayer walked our property last fall talking to God. Like OUT LOUD.T was working on a project and said, "What are you doing, exercising?" "Praying! I'm praying!" I told God, we need this one thing to be easy. Lots of not-so-easy had been happening and I was truly crying out to Jesus while I walked in circles, "God! Please finds some friends for this home. Find someone who needs what we created here. Please make this part easy." And He did. Oh my goodness He did just that! Why do we doubt His provision? So fast forward to this day. Moving is messy. so very messy and exhausting! I packed the whole house myself other than the garage and Ts office. He did that. We had some strong young men pack the truck out on day one and T and James finished packing it day two and three, T fined tunes all the logistics, worked his job mind you during all of this, and let's not forget unpacked the truck into storage! I'll save that for another post.
We were actually doing this. We were really moving our heart and home to Tennessee. Just before driving away, we paused in our amazing home on Forest View Way that we designed, created, and built together, cried some tears and prayed over this home one last time. Thanking God for the years He gave us and all the memories we shared at this beautiful place. We are truly thankful for the years we shared here.
Goodbye Colorado. We love you. Hello Tennessee, we can't wait to see what's next!
Thanks for listening,
