We made It

Here I am writing a post for my blog while sitting in my new home (apartment). We finally arrived in Seattle on Saturday afternoon. The wonderful men from Mt. Vernon, WA met us here and helped unload the truck and put our beds together. A great big thank you to Pastor Ross and his church.
It took about 3 days but we have unpacked and put everything in it's place. I must say we have a beautiful home. We could not have done it without my mom. She has been a great blessing to us these past few weeks.
Our first morning here we woke up to a blanket of snow. It was so pretty although it did not last long. It is still cold and rainy here. I don't think spring will make her appearance her for a little while yet.
I had mentioned to several of you about a position I had applied for here in Seattle. Well, I got the job and had orientation on Tuesday and started work today. Right now until I get a more permanent shift I will just be filling in for other caregivers. I think I will stay busy, buy I really need a more steady shift. Please keep this in your prayers. I know God will work everything out.
I feel like I'm in a dream and I keep checking to see if this really real. We are so excited to be here. I've had so much fun buying things for my house and driving around in my city. Thank You Jesus for all you've done to get us here. I know the greatest harvest this city has ever had is about to begin.
Thank you to all of you who have helped us to get here. Ashley and Amber thank you so much for packing clothes and more clothes. Eddie, Zach and Daddy thank you for packing the truck.
Bro and Sis. Loveland the beds fit perfectly and the girls love them. Those that gave us offerings thank you so much. We were able to buy our bedroom suite (Joel and I have never had one) and put down our deposit for the apartment. You were such a blessing to us. To all who have joined with us in fasting and prayer. Thank you, Thank you. Prayer is the most powerful thing you can do for us. We love and apperciate you all.
