Update on move and more

Posted on Monday, March 24, 2008 at 05:03

Hello friends!
WOW! Things are quite busy over here on the ranch! Let me update you on all the activity and our progress on moving!

Joe flew back to MO and accepted the position offered to him. His start date is the 7th of April however, he must first get there on the 4th for some pre-employment paperwork, physical and drug test. He plans on leaving late on the first of April after he finishes a long day at work with Fosters. He is quite a busy man.

The children and I are busy as bees trying to get everything wrapped up here. We have a few more families that will be coming and picking up piles of goodies they can use on their homesteads so that we won't have to haul it back with us.

All the animals are sold except for one Ram that I just listed for sale earlier this morning. The Lord has provided such sweet homes for each of our Farm Friends and we are hopeful that we can keep in touch with the new owners to keep current on the animals activity.

The home was listed for sale last Friday and we are confident the Lord will bring a buyer quickly. The thought of being away from my Joe is heartbreaking, he is truly my best friend! I know that the Lord is going to show Himself mighty in this situation and will help the home sell quickly!

We still need to wrap up living arrangements there in MO. I have a call into a family that offered to let us stay in their rental. We will see how the Lord works those details out.

Thank you all for your prayers, encouragement and support through this time. We are keeping our eyes on Him and trusting that He is leading us perfectly. We love each of you and will write more as we can!

With much love,
Mrs. Joseph Wood

Thanks for the update! As I read your post I must say " Your faith will not fail you!" God is so good and blesses us to overflow. His way is The Way To Go. I expect only the best as His will is being done. Believing you are receiving all He has for thee. Lovingly, rilda *U*

Praise Him!

Praise the Lord for how smoothly He is moving things along for your family. It is my earnest prayer that your home and property sell FAST so your family can be reunited quickly. If there is anything I can do from "down the hill," please let me know!

Oh how exciting and a bit somber at the same time with the move and all. I do hope all ends well and you guys are able to capture as many memories as you can while you are still in your "old" place. Keep us posted.....
