Barring a major surprise to us, Tim, the kids, and I will be moving once again to Knoxville, TN. We have been blessed to have this opportunity as a family to return to the campus of Johnson Bible College where Tim will be finishing up course work for his degree.
During our previous year at JBC (before Emahry was born) we were blessed by the knowledge and fellowship we gained through our close interactions and relationships with fellow students, professors, staff members, and the local body we were a part of.
While we are very excited about the door that God has opened for us, we would still greatly appreciate your thoughts and prayers as our family makes this transition. As we prepare for this adventure we would ask that you specifically pray for the following needs.
1. That God will bless us with safe travels as I drive with my sister (who is also attending JBC), Emahry, & Jonathan and as Tim drives our older vehicle the 10 hour trip by himself.
2. That our housing will be completed in time for us to move in next Friday and that God will stretch our meager resources so that it will be possible for us to furnish our new home.
3. Most importantly, that God will prepare our hearts for the lessons he wants to teach us while we spend these next couple of years immersed in this concentrated Christian environment and that God will prepare men and women who love him to mentor us in our roles of a Godly husband and father and a Godly wife and mother.
We also have another exciting piece of news, but I'm not going to tell you just yet. Instead, we'll see if you can guess. Use this picture to try to figure it out ;)
