So...now that it has been 2 months, I figured I should blog again!
Zach and I, and the children of course, sold our house in Mobile and moved to Birmingham, AL. Gardendale, AL to be exact. Some think this was sudden and not planned out, but we had been praying about selling and moving for a while now. The Lord just worked everything out perfectly and allowed us to move. Why Birmingham you ask? Well, we wanted our children to grow up knowing their grandparents and their cousins. Zach's oldest sister, Shauna, has 3 kids. Ridley is her oldest, and he is 7. Jeb is her middle son, and he is 8 months older than Isaac. Abby is the baby, and she is 3 week younger than Hannah. So, our kids will always have someone their age to play with. How can I ask for better friends for my kids then their own family? More importantly, Shauna and her husband Chris raise their children to serve and love the Lord, and her kids are perfect examples of the types of children I want my kids to be around.
Zach doesn't have a job just yet...but he is looking like crazy. He had 2 interviews with the same company this week, so we hope to hear tomorrow is he got the job. Please pray he did! If not, I know that the Lord has better things in mind for him. However, it is becoming hard for me to have patience and trust that the Lord is in control!
So...here we are....in Birmingham. I wasn't sure if I would like it...i mean, my inlaws are here, I don't know the area, it's a large city to learn, and we had to find a new church! ACK! Now, hold up, I didn't say living near my inlaws would be bad, i just wasn't sure how it would all workout. We've never lived near them before to know how the dynamics would be. However, I must say, they have been wonderful and I could not ask for more. I'm hoping that my mother in law and I can become good friends. So far so good. She taught me how to make whole wheat bread, and even gave me all of her equipment...AND 90lbs of wheatberries!
Church...we found an incredible church. I mean, incredible!!! Reformed theology, wonderful people, and lots of young families! When we visited the first sunday, we were shocked by how genuine and nice everyone was. It was like we had always belonged there. Incredible!!
I hope to update more...and I have some ideas for how I want this blog to go...so keep with me!
