Made the move!

God has once again provided for our family. The rental house sold and we had the help of wonderful friends (and a u-haul truck) to move into the parsonage of our former church, here in Holland. (THANK YOU to Mike, Mary, Alex, Samantha, Ron, Karen, Dale, Dan, Jan, Earl, Kristi, Kate, and LaVerle!) The deacon board of Maranatha has made it possible for us to live in the unused church parsonage, rent-free, for six months.

God has provided employment options for Chris through Manpower (temp. agency) and Dutch Village Family Park. The boys had a recent opportunity to do some yard work - their first 'hired-out' job - and enjoyed the pay they received for their hard work. They've been asked to come back and mow her lawn, so they're on their way to being working men!

I have been cleaning, painting, and getting us settled in. Now that we've been here a couple weeks, we've started back up with schooling and I am looking for employment as well as getting ready to have a garage sale.

We continue to live in the present, following God's leading as we determine it and trust Him to give us wisdom for the future.

Spring is here and hope is growing!
