Final Leg

We hosted our last retreat this past weekend, and will be doing our final clean-up in the next few days...this is a big relief to have all this out of the way so we can finally focus on getting to Johnson City. These past few months have been incredibly stressful, but already I can see some things that God has been doing to prepare us for this journey!

We made our first step in leaving by giving away the cat that adopted us when we moved here...she went to a good home, but it was still hard to let go our "first pet" (who would have guessed it would be a CAT?!?). It was hard to realize that we couldnt take her with us...and that we really were LEAVING.

Its strange to think that we have only lived here 8 months, and to look back upon how much everything has changed. The dreams and passions we had when we moved into our cabin in the woods in April are much different than the ones we have now as we prepare to move into a tiny apartment on a college campus. At least I know that God has been involved in all aspects of this time - shaping us through difficulty and hard lessons, and showing His Love through the changing seasons that we have experienced here at Eagle Rest.

If anyone is really reading this, please pray that we will be guided to jobs quickly in JC. This a stressful search, b/c we dont know where to start. Jeremy has a few leads on part-time work, but I need to be working full-time, and I dont think I would be able to sit behind a desk all day under flourescent lights...we'll see what turns up. Thank you for your prayers, and please leave a comment below!

Love.
