It is hard to believe that we have been living with my parents in South Carolina for 9 months already! When we came to stay with my parents back in June, we never would have guessed that 9 months later we would still be here. Funny how God works.
How bitter-sweet this time has been. Oh how Mike and I wished that we could have jumped from Mike's graduation straight into full time jobs again, yet, the Lord was good to mold us and reshape us. His plan, while difficult at times, has been much more rewarding than our own. I am reminded of James 1 as it is such a reminder that our plans may not be God's plans...and when things may seem difficult, we should consider it all a gift from Him, for they prepare us for the days ahead.
While South Carolina has brought it's ups and downs; sweet memories with family, new friends to stay in touch with, times of questioning God, and many hours waiting on the Lord, we will soon be leaving here. How bitter-sweet!
Mike and I will be moving up North where we will be back in familiar territory (Yankee territory). Come March 15 our new city address will be Crystal Lake, IL. We will enjoy some time with the Sharpmack family as we continue to raise support; all with the same goal still in mind. Full support by June 1st. Idaho bound and excited to see what else God has planned.
Thank you South Carolina for all the love, support, and new friends we have found here.
