EVERYBODY SAY "TENNESSEEEEEEE"!!!!

Our moving truck was delivered yesterday.

What are the odds that it would have a TN license plate?!

(Brodie's answer: 1/48...right.)

I still keep marveling that everyone is all smiles about our move.

Of course, we've had our sentimental moments (some of us more than others), but there is peace

and the kids just can't wait...a testament of their trust in the Lord for which I am deeply thankful.

This is God's will. And there's nowhere else we'd rather be than walking in His will.

Here's to new beginnings...

...with my best friends.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord."

Jeremiah 29:11

ALMOST TIME...

It's just a van...but somehow when it drove away the reality of our real live move sank in. We had a good long cry about it and reminisced a while. We hugged and prayed and thanked the Lord for all that He has done here. We decided we were grateful that our trusty van was leaving reliably before us to be sure and ready when we arrive like a big warm hug from home on the other side from here because Tennessee is waiting and now we know it's almost time...

"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:

a time to plant, and a time pluck up what is planted."

Ecclesiastes 3:1-2

REUNION

{All the way from Germany!}

What a blessing to spend the day with our dear friends while they're here in the States,

just before we leave ours...a gift from the Lord this side of Heaven.

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in

the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.

And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

Matthew 28:19-20

FUTURE FARMERS

After Brodie's last day at Primal Pastures with his dad,

he really wanted to take his little brothers back to show them what he'd been up to there. 

They had a great time!

The livestock guardian dogs are their favorites.

(Brodie's too)

(silkies)

I guess Beck needed a break at some point to sing "shady green pastures"...

Then he was off and running again.

Loving the Kune Kunes.

These boys love it all!

And I see future farmers.

"You cause the grass to grow for the livestock and plants for man to cultivate,

that he may bring forth food from the earth."

Psalm 104:14

BAPTISM

{these 2}

Our precious, precious girls...best friends.

They are truly a delight!

And it was beyond a blessing to get to see them be baptized here in our special home among special 

friends who have walked this incredibly special season of life with us. What a gift from the Lord!

To witness our daughters' public profession of faith...

Through baptism...

There is no greater JOY!

It was a most blessed day of cherished fellowship in the Lord that will never be forgotten.

So proud of our girls.

Praise the Lord for all that He has done!

"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth."

3 John 1:4
