Answered Prayers

Thank you for your prayers for us in the process of moving to Tennessee. Since our last post we have sold our second vehicle, our go-cart and trailer, and found a rental that will meet our needs (and have a fenced yard for Jake). Allow us to continue to glorify the Lord by explaining the way He has answered these prayers:

• The sale of our go-cart - It's been fun to own but you just can't drive a go-cart all the way to Tennessee, so it had to go. The man who mowed and weeded the church property in Pioche (and in particular, around the go-cart) last week bought it as soon as he learned we wanted to sell it.
• The sale of our pickup - It's going to be difficult initially to be without a second vehicle when we move to Paris but we knew it would be impossible to haul the pickup and everything we own. So we reluctantly decided to sell it. We posted a few signs around town, got a call the same afternoon, and sold it as a package deal with our go-cart trailer.
• A rental home - This has been the most challenging. The offer and subsequent counter offer on the home we saw while we were in Paris the first of June were both rejected. Since then we and our Pioche & Paris church families have been praying and searching for possible rentals. Today we learned of a man, who just happens to be a Gideon, who owns a rental home in a nice neighborhood with a fenced-in backyard! One of our sisters in Christ in Paris promptly inspected the home inside and out and gave it a "thumbs up." We secured it today! We now have a Paris address and will be able to unload our boxes and road-weary pets as soon as we pull into town. We'll start receiving mail at the following new address around July 7: 723 Salem Circle, Paris, TN 38242. We'll update you on new phone numbers as we obtain them.

There are more answers to prayers forthcoming. Our Pioche church family will be meeting this week to discuss the steps necessary in this time of transition, including the formation of a new pastor search committee. Continue to pray for them during this time. We love them so much!

Another prayer yet to be answered is a job for Jane; however, another one of our sisters in Christ in Paris knows of an open position in a school near the church. We'll see how the Lord works in this. Pray for His will to be done.

Our God is so good, isn't He?! Thank you, once again, for your prayers.
