Jul. 4, 2007 - We're on the move again!

Yes, six months have passed since we drove through the gates of Tardun, but in another 10 days or so we’ll be waving goodbye as we set our compass for new territory and another adventure!
 
We are moving to the ocean-side town of Esperance, Western Australia – population 14,000, but that doubles in summer with the invasion of tourists from all over the world. It is surrounded by national parks and the most amazing beaches, with over 100 tiny islands off the coast.
 

At the moment we are cleaning and packing, eating our stores of frozen goods and perishables, waiting for the big day to arrive when, with dog in tow, we begin the 1400 kilometre drive south  to our new home!

 

Hubby begins his new teaching position on July 23rd, and our hopes are that Esperance will be the final stopping off point for this gypsy family. Did you know that the word esperance means 'hope'. That gives me goosebumps.

 
Prayers for a safe move appreciated.

Hi Jen!
Still enjoying your generous gift of "Southern Rainbow"!!
I have never been to Esperance but I hear that it is a stunning place. I pray that God will lead you safely on this next journey and that you find peace and security in your new home.

Wow Jenny,
You move fast!!! How great it is that God just sees your needs. I am also impressed that your husband just goes with God too. He knew his family needed more :).
Just think in a year or so you'll have this blog to look back on and see where you have been.
You can print it out and have a keepsake.
I am sad for all the plants you planted because they won't have you to tend them but you can't say you didn't leave the place better than when you found it as God would want. You made a difference.
Bless you all
Karen in Melbourne

for safe travel, for dh as he starts his new position, for more community for you to feel a part of and a new church family that will be welcoming.

Thanks for the extra geography lesson for my boys too as we looked up your new locale :) Praying it will be a place of hope for you.

You have overcome some incredible challenges and I see this move as a reward for your faith and patience through these past months. (I hope one of the rewards is a more reliable connection, I want to hear from you more often!)

Peace and Laughter,
