Change is a Comin'

It is so hard to believe that I am actually writing this post...Joe and I have decided to take a leap of faith and change jobs, which leads to us moving to Augusta! As of last Thursday, Joe resigned from his job and begins a new job as a senior engineer for Savannah River Nuclear Solutions. We will be moving to Augusta, where Gammie and Papa live, in less than two short weeks! We are very excited about this move and all that lies ahead of us. Augusta has so much to offer with great schools, churches, housing, family and a job that will allow Joe to spend more time with us. We could not be more thankful for this opportunity. It is, however, very bittersweet for me. I have made some of the best friends a person could ever ask for. These friends have shared my ups and downs with my Dad's death, every pregnancy, every birthday, and our children have grown up together. It will be beyond difficult to leave them, but I have great confidence in the One who is leading us and so I can go with peace and excitement about what the Lord has in store for us. I feel forever changed by all that has transpired these last several weeks. I never want to doubt the Lord's goodness, faithfulness, and direction again...but I know myself and my tendencies to think I can do it on my own and that I know what is best! It sadly is only a matter of time before I doubt Him again. So I give you permission to remind me of this time when the Lord has so clearly and faithfully led us!!! Through each step of this whole process, it has been so clear that the LORD is on HIS throne and He has blessed us beyond our wildest imaginations! For the past two months, in preparation of this move, we have been steadily working on our house to get it ready to sell. (I'll post pics soon of all our hard work!) So, it goes on the market on Thursday... and has a contract on it on Friday!

Two days!!! I still am speechless! We had already planned a house hunting trip this past weekend just to see what was out there. But because of our pending sale, we were able to put a contract on a house that we LOVE in a wonderful neighborhood! We are so thankful for how the Lord has worked out all these details.

"I will sing to the Lord, for He has been good to me." Psalm 13:6

"Be willing to follow wherever I lead. Follow Me wholeheartedly, with glad anticipation quickening your pace. Though you don't know what lies ahead, I know; and that is enough! Some of my richest blessings are just around the bend: out of sight, but nonetheless very real. To receive these gifts, you must walk by faith- not by sight..." Jesus Calling from yesterday

May we all walk by faith today and always.
