Well, its official. We're moving....THIS WEEK! Does that sound as crazy as it feels? Because of a few of the contingencies in our contract (getting renters for our current house, structural questions, etc) we didn't really know for sure if it was all going to work out until last Saturday! And we are moving Tuesday! Needless to say this week has proven to be a little crazy. The Lord is sustaining us in all the transition and busyness. We are extremely excited about having a home of our own, especially one so close to campus! Clint and I will be married 4 years in November. This will be our fifth move in those 4 years! We are both longing to be settled and to have a home where we know we will be for the next season of our lives. We are so thankful to the Lord that he has allowed us to find a GREAT house that we can afford in such proximity to the students we will be ministering to. It is truly a good and perfect gift to us. His goodness is unending. We are consistently reminded of that in His graciousness to us!
On top of packing and moving this week, our semester also started Monday! This is the first semester that Clint is in charge of leading the staff at three campuses! Please pray for us as this is yet another transition for us!
As far as the house goes, here are a few specs: It's a 3 Bedroom, 2 bath bungalow that sits up on a hill .2 miles from campus. It has an office that is enclosed (it has been used as a sunroom and a bedroom)! This was a HUGE thing for us. We love to host people and our parents and family often visit so the flexibility of a 4th bedroom was something we wished for but never expected to get. Also, Clint works from home a lot, and lets just say, Eden isn't so concerned about his personal space. The door on the office will close, and even has an outdoor entrance. The living area (which I fell in love with) is very OPEN! The dining room and living room are hardly separated from the kitchen. And OH the kitchen. I have one word for you, Granite. :) Ah!
Pictures of the move, the house, and the lovely UNCG students who have offered their time, labor and trucks to help us will come soon!
Every good gift and every perfect gift comes down from the Father of heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17
