Glory to God in All Things!

Today we finished the last long leg of our move to TN--Amarillo, TX to Conway, AR. Also today, about an hour and a half from our motel, the air conditioner suddenly stopped working in the U-Haul. It was certainly discouraging at first given the humid July heat but God reminded us to rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in everything (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18) and that God causes all things to work together for good to those who are called according to His purposes (Romans 8:28). So, in addition to praying for God's help as Mitch drove the truck in the sauna-like conditions, we thanked the Lord:
  • That we are so close towards the end of the move rather than at the beginning of the long trip.
  • That the entire family, along with dog and cat, does not have to travel in the cab of the truck together.
  • That there has been no other truck or Durango trouble as we've traveled.
  • That our dog and cat have been relatively good travelers. (Jake's been the best traveling buddy and Callie's merely tolerated the inconvenience.)
Our next post should be one of our arrival in Tennessee along with the arduous process of unloading and unpacking.

Thank you for your continued prayers for us during this time of transition. We love you all!
