Mom's move

Well it’s official! My mom is moving from Missouri to Michigan just 3 weeks from now!!! Her house sold and she bought a house just blocks from us in a matter of weeks. All I can say is God is faithful to provide!

It is going to be a hectic few weeks for her and us as we face this move. We have just three weeks left in the semester before all the students head home for the summer and she has just three weeks to complete her packing. I know it is a daunting task for her to do all alone but she is plugging away day by day while still working full time at her job. She will work her last day after 16+ years at OSS on May 14. It is certainly bitter sweet for her.

Joel will fly down to Missouri on Saturday, May 15 and help her finish up the last bits and then she closes on that house on the 17th at 4pm and they will hit the road in a big ol’ truck and head north, arriving here in Jackson on Tuesday and then will close on the house here on Wednesday, May 19th at 9am. Talk about a whirlwind!!!

I’ll be holding down the fort here with three kids and 6 house guests. Who says we aren’t doing guest house ministry after all!!?? We’re just on this side of the ocean doing it!! Our adopted daughter Grace is graduating and 5 family members from various states will be staying with us!

We covet any prayers you would pray on our behalf!
