Surviving the Storm!

It has been a while since I wrote on this blog and I better get everyone caught up on what is happening with us.  It has been a storm of activity (isn't it amazing how I can get in a reference to the story of Peter on a stormy sea in a blog about a move?) here since the move on the day before Easter.  We had to move things into the new house, finish cleaning the old house, finish moving odds and ends from the old house, continue to organize things in our new house, and do two youth fund raisers.  We also were continuing with school and jobs and ministry.  So the past three weeks have been very busy.  And tonight is only the second night when I have had the chance to sit and write something about the storm (I don't want to let you forget about the miracle in all this).

The miracle has been the love we have been shown by our friends and family!  We had so many people show up to help us move, we were able to split forces and have some at each house doing cleaning and moving jobs.  We had a large U-Haul truck rather than a bunch of smaller trucks because of the generosity of our friends.  We had family come and give us money to help pay for incidentals.  We had friends roll up their sleeves and clean our kitchens and bathrooms.  We had fun, quick work, and joy in seeing how we have been blessed by many good friends.

So Brenda and I want to say thank you to all those who have helped us since the move, to get settled during the storm and say that you have been part of our miracle!

You are all rocks in the time of storms!  Peter had his friends too in the boat but they were nothing compared to the friends and family God has blessed us with!
