Boston



It's looking more and more like Boston will be our new home. Aaron has been there all week and told me today that he has been offered the teaching position once it becomes available in January or early February. Many things are still up in the air but we are both feeling in our hearts that God has an adventure ahead for our family, that we need to step out in faith, and trust Him. We also found out that we will have to sell our sweet little house here to afford a mortgage there, something about the fact that the company will help us with a mortgage but not if we have two of them. I understand. It's still sad though. We really have put so much love into fixing this place up and filled it with countless precious memories, ones that I will hold in my heart always, and that will go with us wherever God leads. So...we'll see what happens, I love God's surprises...they keep my faith growing and protect me from getting a little too comfortable here.

This is a picture that I took about three years ago when I visited the Boston area for the first time...Hydrangea's in Martha's Vineyard. At least the flowers are beautiful there!

  2. Jen! I can totally relate. Leaving a home is never easier. Praise God for memories and pictures. I will be praying for you guys. May you both be filled with His wisdom and understanding.... especially His peace. I am thinking a little trip out to Silverton is a MUST. Really soon! Always love you friend!

  3. Erika & JuRita, Thank you so much for your encouraging words! You have no idea how much they mean to me. It's like when you are running in a very long race and you are tired to the core, everything in you wants to stop, and then suddenly someone hands you a bottle of water and shouts, "GO JENN, YOU CAN DO IT! You're almost there!" That is what your words are like to me. Thank you! Love you sisters!

  4. Jenn, I wish I had some magical words of encouragement....I don't. Know that you can have a home in lots of places and that you are very much loved.
