Joys of July Day 11 - Home

I love this view! Love it so much. Every morning it can look completely different from the previous morning. This view has provided so much joy for nearly eight years. We moved in on the day my dad died. I wasn't here for the move and the unpacking. Our awesome family and church family helped Jamie and the then four kids move in and unpack an entire household full of stuff.

So it is sad to say that our days have been numbered here....yep last night we were given two months notice to move out. Very sad but very exciting at the same time.  You see a few months back Jamie felt that God had told him that we would be moving house soon. That our time here was coming to a close and to prepare ourselves. So we have......slowing but surely cleaning out, sorting out, biffing out and praying.  We had no inkling from our landlords that they would be giving us notice we just felt that this is where God was leading us. A few days after Jamie and I decided to pray for and thank God for our new home (where ever that is) Jamie saw that the land lord had put their house on the market. Not at all remarkable in itself as they had been trying to sell their home for seven years on and off. We shared with our kids that God is wanting us to move but we didn't know where and they were excited and of course full of questions But a few weeks back we felt that we were to step up our efforts at preparing and set about restoring bits and pieces back to how they were things like gardens and the yard, replace some light bulbs etc.

So here we are......on the move, still here in Te Awamutu we are 100% positive about that.....sad we are leaving a place where there is so many memories, three babies have been born while we are here (two of which have been born right here), family Christmases, oodles of birthdays, dinner parties and even a wedding. But oh so exciting...to know that we are being lead my our God to better and brighter things and definitely warmer!!  Watch this space...just another beautiful crazy faith journey that we find ourselves on! The Way of Faith ......not for the faint-hearted!
