Moving
|
Since November, my husband hasn't been working. God has miraculously sustained us and we've had some quality time together as a family. Of course, he's been looking for another source of income, but nothing has come available that would support our family of seven. We've been praying...and wondering...and second guessing...and planning, but had no idea what our next step would be. At the beginning of February, we went to California for Eric's, my husband's best friend, memorial service. Originally, only Rick was going to go out there and then all of us flew out. (By the way, it was a beautiful service. There was probably around 600 people who attended and his life was shown for what it truly was - God, family, church, and friend-oriented. He really was a great guy.) While we were out there, many of our friends and relatives asked if we were planning on moving back to California. That was unexpected and the farthest thing from our minds. We love living in Wisconsin. Many wondered if we had thought about buying Eric's pool servicing business, from his wife. As more people asked us, we decided that maybe it was worth prayer and consideration. So we did that. And we were surprised by the answer. We really feel like it's time to move back and part of that is buying the business from our friends. It's an answer to prayer concerning what our next step should be, a position for Rick that won't steal so much time away from our family , and income. So now we're in the process of sorting, organizing, packing and purging. It's amazing how satisfying it feels to go through a messy closet and just throw away stuff and compile a box of things to give away and then organize the rest. Very therapeutic. I highly recommend it. On the sad side, we're going to miss our church family. We felt so accepted and part of our church quickly, and that's unusual for us. We've only been there a little over a year, but it seems like a lot longer. We hope to move as soon as the first or second week of March. It depends on a few things, but the sooner the better. Pray for us during this transition time. |
