Peace has passed...

... all understanding in the hearts of the Davis'... finally!

California is our final answer.  The decision has been made and dates have been penciled in.  Tentatively we, Steve and I, and the moving truck head out on June 24th...just three weeks from today.  Packing has continued, seeing friends for the last time have begun, and the anticipation of finding out which house in which city is driving me crazy!  (taking a deep breath)

This move is so strange and different from all the other ones.  For example:

     *It has never taken several turns of decision to finally come to the right one, and we always know where we are going.  This time we only know which section of the state and that we still have a job!  Praise God!  
     *Next, our car/s have always been in great working condition for a move; however, this time we Steve is having to make calls left and right trying to "settle" the issues our Honda Pilot is having and has had for the past several months.  What kind of "settlement" will be determined by next Wednesday.  Prayers for favor in the eyes of God and man are appreciated :o) 
     *Lastly, we still do not know where the money is going to come from to make this move happen as well.   

So are we being tested like never before?  I think so! 
 And I hope that by the end of all this our Lord will want to say, "Well done good and faithful servants!"  This is my heart's desire.

On Monday my girls will start their summer vacation in an airport.  Their daddy will escort them from one plane to the next as their flight lands in southern California.  How exciting for them!  On the other hand, I will be driving back alone to a house occupied by a dog, a cat, 5 one week old kittens and a mess of material possessions that have to be packed.  How exciting for me.  Actually, I am thrilled that my girls will not have to go through the drudgery of another move.  Instead, they will be reconnecting with family and old friends and having a blast!  It will be different not having them with us for almost a month.  That's never happened.

So our journey moves on.  We will miss our dear friends in New Mexico as we have missed our friends in Colorado, Texas, Arkansas, Arizona, and California...have I missed any?   There is no god like our God and He is the tie that binds us all together.  Remember we are only a phone call, a text message, an email, or a chat away....consider even a vacation our way.  Y'all are always welcome in our home ... where ever that may be.  

In all this, however, my plea to the Lord is, "May my rest be at the end of this next road...for a very long while."  

It's the Peace that passes all my understanding that restores my soul.

Enjoying My Peaceful Kup...
