The apartment was found. Old boxes gone through. One of which contained the silly writings of a boy crazed girl who had doodled her love's name and the name of their child in her Home Economics spiral. I will not reveal any names. The new boxes are being packed. Alyssa and Alivia's bed is getting a fresh coat of paint. (A big thank you to the Loveland's for the girl's Big new bed.) The Penske Truck rented (by far the best deal if you are moving across the country). The movers are a bit stressed right now. There is so much to be done and so little time.
We pack the truck on Tuesday and we leave early Wednesday. We are driving to California first to pick up more boxes (oh my stars) and Joel will be preaching at his brother's church in Chula Vista.
We are then off to San Jose to see Joel's Uncle Jimmy and his family. And then on to our beloved city and new home. We will be met by the Pastor and family and men of Victory Pentecostal Church of Mt. Vernon, WA. They will be helping us unload and move into our new home.
The time has finally come and although we have experienced every feeling from exictment to panic we feel a peace that passes all understanding. God is in control and although there are things we are yet sure about, we know "all things will work together for good".
Thank you to those who have text or called to say you are praying for us. You will never know how much of a strength this has been for us.
When I post next I will be sitting in my new home. YEAH!! Love you guys.

House Hunting
We got into Seattle about 6:oo pm this evening and we are now at our good friends the Ross Clan. After 6 hours in the air we are tired and yet anxious for tomorrow. We meet with our realtor in the morning. Mark is taking us around the city and showing us neighborhoods. There is also another contact who is interested in renting to us.
We will be job searching as well. We covet your prayers this week that God will lead us to the right area and provide jobs as well.
This evening as we drove over the hill and saw Seattle before us the reality began to sink in. It was almost a little overwhelming, but as drove into the city I prayed for God to give us a harvest. I felt a peace that God is at work in MY city.
We will keep you posted as things unfold.

Our Last Revival
This week is our last revival as Evangelists. We are in Houma, La with our good friends Chad and Amy Ducote and their new baby Gracie. We had a wonderful service on Sunday and we are looking forward to another one tonight.
Today as I write this post I am filled with a bitter sweetness. The past eight years have been some of the hardest and greatest of my life. Evangelizing has not been an easy life, but it has been so rewarding. There were times when we lived on rolls of change we had been given by Joel's grandparents. Another time we went to buy groceries and had absolutely no money. But out of those times came a deep trust in God. During those times God would require us to lean on him and he always came through. Through whatever hard ache we endured God always made up the difference. It wasn't always monetarily though. We had great miracles happen. We saw blind eyes open, deaf ears unstopped, pain leave bodies instantly, healings from dieseases, deliverance from drugs, acohol,ciggaretts, depression and many miracles we don't even know about. I could never put a price on the worth of seeing a new soul recieve the Holy Ghost. God has been so good to us. I will cherish these last eight years forever.
Next week we embark on a new journey. Joel and I fly out on Tuesday to put a deposit on a home and possibly go to job interviews. We covet your prayers so much. We absolutely want God to lead us as we go. We want God to send us to the right house, the right location, the right jobs. I feel so inadiquate when I think of the job before, but this I know God will not send me where he will not equipe me. Just today Joel, said I can't wait to get to Seattle. That has been the way we have felt for months and now the time has come. We are planning the move for the last week of Feburary. Please keep us in your prayers. We love you all and thank you for your love and support.
