I feel like I blinked and the four weeks before our move to Tennessee have become one and a half.
To chronicle a bit of that, over the last few amazing weeks we’ve packed most of our house, had some great pictures taken of the girls to mark their impending third birthday, sold an extra car, had some great farewell dinners with great friends, and the biggest surprise:
Sold our house.
I need to give a great big shout out to our good friend and realtor Shelly Dahl for helping us sell our house in an amazing four days. We had planned on having on the market for a while, and had budgeted under the assumption that we’d be carrying that mortgage, so we’re thrilled to be out from under that burden! Great work, Shelly!
Odds and ends abound now. Addresses to change, utilities to cancel, people to hug, a final sermon to prepare. All the while, Kelly and I are preparing our hearts for a new path of ministry and a new community to join. These are busy days, but it’s not all task-based checklist work. Much of it is heart work, preparing our hearts for a transition that affects us in deep places. Our roots are deeper here than we could have guessed until we started digging them up.
We drive out on May 17.

You will always be a part of who many of us are.
I fully understand the feelings you are having……we left PV after 15 years. A new opportunity in Houston……made many wonderful friends there, You will be in Gods hands and he will provide and take care of your sweet family!
Thanks, guys!
