Relocating and Must Sell



God wants us to move to the East Coast. We are following His command. Our house is for sale. The house that we built thinking that we would raise all our children in and grow old in.....is up for sale. God brought us this land at the perfect time and we were able to built a beautiful house and shop with SO MUCH of my husbands blood, sweat, long nights and weekends.... We have came to the decision that we are willing to give up our most loved possession and sell it to follow our Jesus. Once we came to that decision God opened up the flood gates of revelation and wisdom regarding our priorities in life. We have decided to get back to the basics of life and follows God's call to be ourselves and not something else that the world says that we should be. We are following the Holy Spirits lead and as we follow Him... He is speaking to our hearts and drawing us back to the simpleness of His love and His truths. We are so excited for our adventure and we have UNEXPLAINABLE peace about our future... Because if God is for us... who can be against us?
We have lived here our whole lives... we have never lived outside the NW. With God at the wheel of our life boat... I know that we are in for an adventure that will draw us closer to Him and closer to each other. We can hardly stand to think about leaving our entire network... the only friends and family that we have even known. It breaks our hearts to entertain the thought of leaving... but then we shift out thoughts to Jesus and know that God is good 100% of the time and that He has plans for us to prosper...
Isaiah 48:15I, even I, have spoken; Yes, I have called him, I have brought him, and his way will prosper.
3 John 1:2Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
Proverbs 16:9A man’s heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps.
Please be praying for an easy transition and a quick sale of our house so that we can get on with the rest of our lives.

We will be praying for you guys...for sure. It breaks my heart to read these words in black and white and to know you really are moving. With that said, I'm excited to hear of the journey you two are going on and know you will be strengthened by this drastic change in your life. You will only have the Lord and each other to cling to...but He will send you other brothers and sisters to lean on along the way.
