Sunday starts the week that we officially close this chapter in our lives and move on to our next adventure...Osco. Sunday Riverside is doing a farewell coffee hour in between services and then Wednesday is my farewell party at the Furnace and then on Saturday we move out of the house that we have been extremely blessed with for the past 5 years.
We loved our house (even though it wasn't technically ours). We brought Joshua home to this house and basically the boys have grown up here. I can still remember the day we took our first tour with Pastor Jan and when we walked in, Caleb took off running with his arms above his head and yelling. It was kind of like he was testing the place... and it passed with flying colors.
Our new home will be drastically different. As I sit here at 12:30 in the evening, i bet more cars will pass in the next 30 minutes than the entire day at our new place. We are the proud owners of a propane tank in our back yard and well water that is not recommended for drinking. The house is warming up to me each time i visit it. We will have to make some adjustments / changes, but the worst part is...it's still not ours. I really would like to own my home someday and be able to retire before i'm 60. The last goal on my list is to not be one of those Pastors that just doesn't know when to throw in the towel.
Interesting conversation at church today, please keep me in your prayers.
God, Help me to keep running forward...no matter what.
