We're In!


I'm currently sitting in the Jacksonville airport after spending all day traveling to close on our new home. We had been traveling for the holidays, so I flew out of Grand Rapids, MI, this morning at 6:30. I arrived in Jacksonville around noon, did the walk-through, and finished the closing around 3:00pm. My flight is at 6:15pm, and I should arrive back in Grand Rapids around 11:30pm. It's been a very long day, but the Lord has been so faithful and has provided us with a great place to call home. Thanks so much to all of you who have helped us in this process. Your actions are greatly appreciated! Zoie, thanks for making numerous last-minute trips over there for us—especially the walk-through!

So, we're finally making the long-awaited move! We're thinking that we'll make the journey sometime around the 9th or 10th of January! If you would, please remember us in your prayers as we take this huge step. We are so excited to begin our life with you all here in Jacksonville, but our emotions are still high from the thought of leaving friends and what-not in Atlanta—not to mention that our home in Atlanta is STILL on the market! It's not the best time of year to sell, so please pray that the Lord will do His thing for us!

Feel free to come on over and say hello!

Ben, that's awesome! Unbelievable timing, huh? I'm so glad for you guys. Let's keep praying that our house in Ohio will sell, okay?
