It started with a sermon on putting your feet in the water, committing yourself to what you feel God calling you to do in your life. In a flash...SIX WEEKS ACTUALLY, we have transferred ownership of our homes and furnishings and gardens to Vern and Eunice, two Mary's and a Joseph. They are all thrilled with their new digs and accoutrement. I'm happy for them, really I am.
Yesterday I packed the last box, cleaned the last place to an immaculate status, left instructions to smooth the new owner's transition along with a bouquet of my garden's ( soon theirs) cut flowers and a bottle of wine to enjoy as they consider the killer view. We loaded the car and left Sandy Pines. Adam and Caity and Lola have taken us in for our three "homeless" weeks.
Three doors closing, one after another in rapid succession but soon, NEW doors opening.
I know this time of obedience has not been without its challenges. Keep swimming! I can not WAIT to see what God has in His Plan for you, and I'm proud of your willingness to follow and the example that sets for myself and my children.
ReplyDeleteTHIS is the post for anyone wondering "why?" you and Dad have done what you've done. Such obedience is something to admire and strive for. I love you!
ReplyDeleteAmen! to Becky's post. Amen! to Megan's post.
ReplyDeleteNow if I could just be more like you.
God has confirmed your obedience throughout this whole surreal experience...you are an inspiration to me dear friend. The Joseph and Mary E. part of the last Sandy Pines story I think may have been God speaking in a way that showed His sense of humor : )
