"do you like to move?"

That was the question Lawrence asked as we were loading the trailer yesterday morning to move all of my furniture. I instantly laughed and asked, “Who likes to move?” But the more I pondered the question throughout the morning, the more I realized that I do like to move. Now don't get me wrong, packing is an utter nightmare. Trying to arrange a time to work with everyone's schedule can be frustrating. But moving means change. New things are coming. Adventure is on the horizon. And I am so excited!

 

A special thanks to everyone who assisted with the move yesterday morning, specifically Nehemiah's Few ministry from Triad. Also, thanks to Bethany Smith for taking everything (and Danny and Kaitlyn Connel for the table and chairs)! For those of you that don't know the story about the move, it's pretty amazing in and of itself. Bethany's parents are missionaries to Canada, and she had made the decision to move to Winston to be closer to her boyfriend, sister, brother-in-law, and new niece, Shira. Anyone who has ever moved to their first place knows the frustration of getting all the necessities. One Sunday evening Bethany was talking to her sister, Amanda, on the phone about everything that she needed, and trying to not get discouraged.

 

At the same time, I was trying to get word out that I was looking for storage for my furniture. I mentioned it in small groups, Sunday School, to friends and family, etc., and finally, out of desperation, I posted on Facebook that I needed storage one Sunday evening. 12 minutes later, Amanda had responded back that Bethany would take it all. She had randomly signed on to Facebook after getting off the phone with Bethany, saw my message that I had just posted, and called Bethany back before making the decision for her. She said she would take everything except the table and chairs, because she had just purchased that... Not a problem, just the day before Kaitlyn and Danny decided they would take mine, so it wasn't even available! Two prayers answered in one!
