AB Ranch is on the move...
Posted on Saturday, March 15, 2008 at 01:05 in Out on the Ranch - Post Comment
Hello dear friends!
I know I have been quiet and I appreciate all of you that checked in on me! You are each precious friends. I have some exciting news to share and was simply waiting for the right time to post.
AB RANCH IS MOVING TO MISSOURI
Dear friends if you had asked us eight days ago if we would ever leave our Ranch here in California I would have laughed and told you NEVER- WE LOVE IT HERE! However, the Lord has asked us to go to new places and we are delighted to obey! My husbands work is leading us states away from what we have always known as home. Yet, we know that He is leading us to a good place and His blessings will follow us. When I asked my Joe what we would name our new ranch (Once we find and purchase one in MO.) he replied, anywhere we go will be Acres of Blessings because the Lord will always be with us!~
The Lord has exceedingly and abundantly blessed us more than we could have ever imagined and we are delighted to walk with Him on this journey. We have no idea where we will end up, only that we will choose to make it a sweet place and live for His purpose. It will be difficult leaving ones we love here, we don't know anyone in the area we are moving yet we do have sweet friends about three hours from where Joe will be working. It will also be difficult leaving all the things we love about this property and yet we know... this world is not our home! We want to keep our attention and focus on those things that are eternal.
The Lord has provided, in His wonderful way, homes for our animals. We do have a few that are still waiting to see who their new caretakers will be however, most of them are spoken for. The home is on the market as of today and we are confident that the Lord is not bound by the market being "slow" or "poor." We are confident He is the one leading us and He will meet each need! My Joe will start work on the 25th of this month. The children and I will remain on the Ranch until it sells in honor of my parents request. We know the Lord desires for families to be together and trust that the Lord will bring us together again quickly.
Please keep our family in your prayers as we move to a new "land" that we have never even seen before. Pray for my Joe that the Lord will grant him peace and wisdom as he faces each task of taking on a new position and leading his family to a new home. Pray for the children that their hearts will have peace as they see their very loved animals leave and go to new homes, pray for peace in their minds as they worry about being away from daddy. Pray that we can accomplish all the packing, clean up and selling of the property in an efficient manner that doesn't disturb the peace of our home. Remember to praise Him for all He continues to do in our hearts and home... dear friends.... HE IS FAITHFUL!
With much love,
Mrs. Joseph Wood

Oh - it's so good to hear news of you and your big move! I will pray for you that it will all go smoothly and your place will sell in good time and you can all be together again. Missouri sounds a nice place to go to!
I'll look forward to hearing how God provides for you.

I wish I could share in your joy. Instead, I want to tell Him how I will miss my dear friend. I will pray that He continues to bless your family richly all the days of your lives.

Love you.

You will be much closer to us, still too far to visit, I suppose, but closer. I pray your move will go smoothly and that finding your new home will go well.
Warmly, ~Melissa

Hallelujah! What an adventure into the unknown.... makes me think of the story of walking on the water. I come into agreement of all you spoke of for prayer. Looking up and being positive in change is the bestest way to overcome all the difficults in advance. I must speak with NO doubt.... Father your words says it and it will and does come to pass to trust you with All our hearts and it shall come to pass. I give you praise for this being a success in all areas. I give you praise for it all is coming to pass in your timing by your ways. In Jesus' Holy Name!!! lovingly, rilda *U*

I was just getting caught up on you and saw this post. Your family will definitely be in my prayers. We moved almost a year ago and I know how uncertain it can be. Bless you and your family.

Greetings! My name is Jeanette Wood. I am the wife to my best friend, Joe and the mother to ten blessings. We have been home educating our children since birth- our oldest is 20 and our baby is 4. We have given birth to six children physically and four were born from our hearts through adoption. We are currently living in Topeka Kansas- moving from our home state of CA on the first of July 2008. Moving is nothing new to the Wood family. We have moved 17 times in the last 17 years. We never know where this journey will take us yet we are confident that He has only good plans for us and we will follow wherever He leads! We love to live simply and are filled with Thanks everyday for the good work He has begun in our lives. Grab yourself a cup of tea and enjoy a visit with me while I allow you to peek into our hearts and home!
