SOLD

We are thanking the Lord for providing a buyer for our house! In this market, we were tempted to be anxious about selling our house. But, then, whose plan is it anyway?

When we knew that the Lord was directing us to service with Mercy Ships, we felt like we ought to sell the house and be free of the burden of a mortgage. We contacted a friend from church that we knew had been interested in our neighborhood and had looked at houses there off and on for about as long as we had lived there. As it turned out, our house was just what she was looking for and we closed the sale on it Thursday, May 29! And there was never a sign in the yard!!

"And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen." Philippians 4:19-20

So now we're still trying to get ourselves turned right-side-up at Jenny's parent's in Pfafftown, NC. Their house is just 12 minutes from our "old" house. We've decided that we are going to have to just focus on the must-do list and forget about the would-like-to-do list. John and Jenny leave for the Gateway training program at the IOC in only 12 days! Joey, Bethany and David will be staying with Mom-Mom and Pop (Jim and Susan Horton, Jenny's parents) from June 26 through July 28 while John and Jenny are educated.

Smoky update: The cat is doing well, although he prefers to be inside ALL the time. Only the Lord knows what Smoky went through that long 24 hours that he couldn't be found! But this turn of events means that Mom-Mom's wild birds she loves to feed are safe and sound! Everybody seems to be happy with the situation.

Until the next update...
Jenny
