After all, we've done it twelve times! The first time was right after our honeymoon!
We packed our U-Haul truck and moved to Wilmore, Kentucky (1). After a year, we bought a small mobile home and moved into it (2). A year later, we moved to Nicholasville, Kentucky (3). Travis was born so we added a lot of baby stuff to our collection.
Then, I was assigned to my first full-time church - so we moved to Jeannette, Pennsylvania (4).
Two years later, I was assigned to the McClellandtown Free Methodist Church - so we moved to McClellandtown (5). Troy and Tracie were born here; moving became far more challenging after this.
Four years later, we moved to a small parsonage in East Liverpool (6). Then we bought a house and moved into it for seven years (7). Then I was told that I was moving to a new church, so I sold the house! Trouble is, the move fell through! We had to move into a rented house (8). A year later, the owner sold the house and we had to move to another rented house (this one we affectionately named 'Maniac Mansion' #9).
Then, we moved to Spencerville, Maryland (10). We left there in crisis and moved several times that were so short that I don't count them:
- to the farm in Enon Valley
- to an apartment in Chester, West Virginia
- to a house in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio
- and finally to a house on Kickapoo Avenue in Akron, Ohio (back to counting #11).
And now, we're about to do it again! Only we don't know where we're moving to! Yikes!
It's time to panic!
No! It's time to trust! God already knows where we're heading - He just hasn't let us know yet.
We're on a need-to-know basis and I guess we don't need to know yet! Anybody got any boxes?
Hal, I never realized these things you posted were blogs. I noticed it today and began reading some of them. Thank you lol it was nice to read about things you have done and the things that God has done for you!
