We're moving to Greenville!

It's official. We're moving to Greenville. David has formally accepted the offer from PaperPak. He starts Feb. 12th. That gives us just a few short weeks to find a place to live, pack up and move out. We have lots to do around the house to get it ready to sale. If you need a house in Clayton, call me to make an appointment. If you're good at moving, get up here and help us pack!

We're very excited and looking forward to what God has in store for us in Greenville. Everything is happening so quickly, but there's still a tremendous process that has to take place. We need to sale this house, make living arrangements there, find a new church, find a school for Cohen and work out job details for me, and that's just the beginning. God has gotten us this far and I know He will fill in all the gaps between here and Greenville. Right now, we just want to praise him for the incredible opportunity he has provided our family. There is definitely power in prayer!

If you haven't heard me say it, I truly believe this move is an answer to a prayer I had. My prayer was to be able to work part-time so that I could spend more time with Cohen. I began praying last year that in 2007, God would allow me to change my work status. Dave and I didn't really think this job opportunity would pan out when we first heard of it. In fact, Dave didn't even send in his resume. But, a good family friend, who is the one who hired Dave, called and asked him to submit his resume. They scheduled an interview for the next week and Dave was offered the job on the spot. There were some road blocks along the way, but after tremendous prayer, I knew this is what God intended for us to do and He easily worked out all the obstacles. I had such faith in God's plan that I began packing two weeks ago, well before the job was official. The position is a huge promotion for David and the salary will basically equal what the two of us were making together here. That will allow us to maintain our lifestyle, while allowing me to work part-time, thus answering my prayer. There are many, many more details I could share of how God made this happen. In time, I'm sure I will.

For now, let me just say that whatever you're facing today or whatever seems out of reach and impossible today can be achieved tomorrow with prayer. Being able to work part-time certainly seemed impossible at the time I began praying for it. Hopefully, Cohen is the one that will benefit from all this!

God is good. All the time.
