Countdown to Moving Day


Rob and I are having a wonderful summer. We recently got back from a visit to Newnan, GA to visit my family. Our 2 year-old nephew, Ty, had a blast with his "Ooh (Uncle) Rob." He can say "uncle" but just decided "ooh" was much more effecient and/or fitting. They wrestled, ate ice pops, and fed the ducks all week long. It was such a blessing to get to spend a whole week with my family.

On the way home we stopped off in Sumter for the weekend as Rev. Hamilton Smith invited Rob to come and give his testimony at Holy Comforter (click on the link to hear it). It was Rob's first "sermon," and it was great. Hey, they can only get better from here, huh?! Seriously though, the Holy Spirit clearly spoke through Rob that morning because a few people came up to us afterwards to tell us how it touched their lives. Rob was so blessed by this opportunity. We also got to spend the night with Rev. Charlie Walton and his wife, Anne. We had a great time visiting with them. They are such wonderful people and great mentors to us.

It looks like the moving date is Aug. 13. We'll be sharing a Penske truck with the Free family from Holy Cross Sullivan's Island. If all goes as planned, we should arrive at Nashotah on the 15th. We've got 4 more weeks with our family and friends, and we plan to spend as much time with them as we can. We are excited to move, but the reality of leaving our family and friends behind is starting to hit us. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we navigate through these final weeks.

No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.
