it’s sold ...
our little haven of rest will be someone else’s cottage ...
yes, there is a peace about it ... and an excitement about our new home ...
hey!!! wait a minute ... our house is sold and we don’t have a place to move?! ... sigh ... more faith exercise ...
the picture i posted was taken in 1993 ... we had lived here in cottage country for a year, and felt at home ... Leo had already been in chronic pain for 10 years ... he still looked healthy, though the pain was setting it’s limits on activity ... my poor husband doesn’t stand as straight today ... but i think his faith has grown ... and isn’t that the important part, our spiritual side? the physical body can’t go to heaven, only our spirits can ...
so i need to focus on the positives, the blessings, the maturity that has developed in this little home of ours ... and to keep exercising my faith, that our future path is mapped out before us - by a Heavenly Father who loves us and cares ...
"What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see ... " Hebrews 11: 1

Congrats! God bless you and your hubby in your new journey. I'm sure it will be fruitful, and exciting.
fred ... thank you! we are excited to see what the Lord has for us!
praying you find just the right place!
mrsd ... thank! really apprciate that! there isn't much on the market out here at the moment ... we really hope to only move once, rather than do the storage thing ... but the Lord knows all that, right? :o)
Congrats and blessings to you!
When God moves like this, hold on! He's got even better things in store.
tina ... i like the way you think!

Saija: What do I offer? Congratulations or condolences? You are in the everlasting arms of an Almighty God and He will lead you where He desires you to be.
Fall back into His arms and watch a miracle unfold before your eyes.
In Him,
David
elizabeth ... yes half of the plan has been unveiled ... :o) ... we do have an eye on a place in town which we really like - but we have been hearing negative things about the condo units ... so we'll go check them out again and see if the negative can be turned into a postive?
david ... maybe a little congrats and a few condolences thrown in! that would cover it i think! it is definitely scary for me as i look at leo's health and the decisions & jobs ahead of us ... but i just need to keep facing the SON and putting one step in front of the other!
Just hurrying over to 'see' you...what an attractive couple you make..and I'm glad I didn't miss this photo! Its busy here with our daughter and her family home to visit...we love it!
maggie ann ... i saw the nana sledding photo, i loved it! it looks like you guys are having a blast! so glad! those grandkids have a tendency to grow up too fast! (hugs)
FORGOT to congratulate you on this. :) it's amazing and I'm so glad for you. I'm sure it's not easy to say goodbye, but when God says Go - He means it :)
lorna ... yes, He has been preparing us for this day ... leo's health seems to be on a sudden downhill slide - so it is for the best ...
