We've Got A Plan!
Lately, I have been remiss about getting my blog out. That is strange because I really do love writing it. Part of the problem is exhaustion. I slept 12 hours last night... a royal waste of time! Seems that I'm always tired by evening because I've run hard all day, yet I don't get much done. Also, my allergies are raging right now.
But on to better things. With God's guidance, we have made a decision about our upcoming move. We are Orlando bound. Housing prices versus earnings potential for Richard make it the most logical place for us. Also, it has been the only place where every door has remained open. We had prayed for the Lord to make His will known to us by closing any door He would not have us enter and opening wide those doors He would prefer to bless us through. That has been happening in a very real way.
We even have a plan in place for the logistics of the move... again, doors opened wide by the Lord. We had already made arrangements for Richard's vacation time so we would attend our daughter's wedding and our family reunion in Colorado June 17 and 18. We will now rent a 5X8 one-way trailer (reserved today) load it full and drive on to Florida after the wedding instead of visiting relatives in Iowa and South Dakota. We'll visit them another time.
In Florida, we'll rent a storage unit for our things and spend some time house hunting. We are screening possibilities via the internet and before we leave will locate a realtor to work with who can line up an itinerary for us. We will also take a list of for-sale-by-owner properties to check out. Hopefully, we'll find the perfect place for us and our budget and arrange for everything before we head back to California. We would then make our final move pulling another trailer load somewhere between July 15 and 31. We should be able to fit all we are taking in two loads with the pickup and trailer since we are not taking much furniture with us.
I am pleased we have made a more or less final decision. Of course, we are ever open to God's leading and have invited Him to clearly intervene if we embark down a road unpleasing to Him. For now, at least, we feel this is where we are to go. There is much peace in that and we are praising God about it. One of our daughters lives in Orlando and Disney World is also in that area along with many other entertainment attractions including The Holy Land Experience which I love.
As for my blog, I am making a resolution to start it earlier on most days so I don't run out of steam before it gets written and published.

Hi Iona. Well, I am sad to hear that I won't get to see you any more when we go to California. But James says that now that I am flying in airplanes, he would like to go to Disney World, so maybe we will stay with you and all the chaos that is your home. lol You will be very missed. It is sad that so many people seem to be doing different things with their lives right now and because of that they are having to leave the church. I suppose that it is times like these that we need to pray even more that God brings new families to our church to keep it going. I hope you keep on with your writing, even after the move, I still want to read abot everything. Talk to you soon.
