This is the only way it would let me post :(

Here it is December, where has time gone. I just realized this a.m. I have not posted pics of our new home, where we moved to in May. I am really bad at blogging now :( Preston is doing great! He did have a cold, but other than that, he is doing well! We are so thankful for that.Missie loves Union Bible Academy. She has moved into the dorm so she won't have to drive 1 1/2 hrs/day and during winter it would have been hard. She loves living in dorm and having her friends there. She is in choir and absolutely loves that and travels when they travel. She is maintaining a B average, and that is great! It was a big switch to switch from ACE cirriculum to textbooks, but she has done very well. We love our home, and spending our first holidays in it! Will post some pics.

New plans

Well, we have been praying, and thinking things over. We feel that Junior needs to make a trip to IN before we move, and apply for jobs and check on housing. We do have a house we can rent, if it is big enough. So we have extended our stay in SC until Sept 1st, instead of August 1st. He is working 10 hr days to make extra money so we can get some small bills paid off before we have to move. We feel God is in this move; but it will just take more time. If school starts there in Aug. we will get the paces and do them here until we get up there.

So Junior and Missie are driving up one day, probably on a Thurs., and on Friday Jr. will check on the job situation and housing, and come back on Sat. We are not sure yet when this will take place.

Continue to pray for us. God is the mountain mover and God knows the reason we are even planning this move to the faraway state of IN. Until a couple of weeks ago, I never dreamed we would ever move to IN. But the church and school sounds wonderful; and we are being led that way.

Well, I've been gone for a week, so I had a lot to catch up on! Indiana isn't far from me, but SC is!
I'm glad Preston had a good birthday. I know God will work everything out with your move!

I am sure it will all come together for you and the timing will be working to the best for your family. It's wonderful news - try not to have any worries - just enjoy the excitement and anticipation.

If you end up going, I am sure you will love the church. A lot of great people attend there, and I, of course, will be envious of your being near Angie. :-)

We have heard only good things about the church there. We are hoping, Lord willing, to leave around Sept 1st. August 1 was a bit too early; the Johnsons are trying to get the house ready for us. And Jr. is working 10 hrs/day to get some small bills paid off before we leave.

I think that church has some very talented people, and they have a great spirit and outreach. I always have a good time around the people that attend.

There is contentment in the center of God's Will. Rest easy as He leads you. Indiana is closer to Michigan too! LOL Maybe we will meet some day. Talk to you again when we return from Kansas on out vacation. Cathy
