"Our God is an Awesome God He reigns from Heaven above, with Wisdom, Power and Love, Our God is an Awesome God"...

I am continually amazed and humbled by God's provision for our family as we make this transition into "Seminary Life".  We were facing three pretty big hurdles in preparation for moving to Decatur:

1) We  needed to find a home for our Lab, Dixie

2) My husband needed to sell his old truck

3)  Most importantly, we needed to sell our home

To make a somewhat long story somewhat short:  We found someone through a friend of mine at church to be the new owner of our dog...and get this...Dixie's new home/owner is an hydraulics specialist in Savannah, GA.  So, this sweet dog of ours is going from being kept in a kennel most of the day to checking water levels, riding around in a boat, living in an open back yard and mountain biking!!!!!!  He came and picked her up this past Saturday.  I am so happy for our Dixie...she is going to have a MUCH better life!!!!  Yes, God is good...even to dogs!!!!!!  Now, for the truck.  My husband was worried he couldn't sell it because it had been just "sitting there" for a year or so.  Well, he popped a battery in it, fired it up, and got it cleaned up for a guy to come look at it.  Yep...he wanted it, and came and purchased it two days later...on Saturday. So, this past Thursday we knew we had someone coming to pick up Dixie on Saturday...we knew the guy was coming to pick up the truck on Saturday...so I look at my husband, Richard, and say, "Wouldn't it be crazy if God sells our home on Saturday"?...GUESS WHAT!!!!!!!  He didn't sell it on Saturday.  He sold it the day before!!!!....YES....someone called about the house this past Friday, they came and looked at it immediately....we signed a contract a few hours later!!!!! 

The best part of this story is that I had been praying that our house would go to someone who needed to purchase it JUST as badly as we needed to sell it.  Well, the people who are purchasing our home lost their home to a fire just two weeks before Christmas.  They had lived there for 30 years and lost EVERYTHING!!! They have been looking for a new home since January and couldn't find ANYTHING!!!  They were at their wits end..then they saw our for sale sign!!!!  ...and you know the rest.

OUR GOD IS SOOOOO GOOD.  HIS PROVISIONS AND TIMING ARE ALWAYS PERFECT!!!!!

Growing In Christ,
