Day 23 in Phoenix. Still searching for a job. Stephen had his third job interview today, and he has a fourth set up for October 7th. Since we didn’t hear back from the first two interviews, we’re assuming he didn’t get those jobs. We won’t know anything about this third job until about two weeks… Read More Still Searching
While driving to visit our new friends, we were listening to the radio. (Driving is a new part of our lives since we lived on church/school property back in Indiana. I love spending this extra time with Stephen as we commute everywhere!) On the radio, we heard an announcement for a free ballet performing in… Read More Ballet Under the Stars
At first we felt dazed (mostly from the long hours on the bumpy seat of a moving truck) and overwhelmed at the thought that we were in Phoenix…to stay! We are no longer visitors, but residents. (However, we are still living out of suitcases in someone else’s home, so we still feel like visitors in… Read More Life in the Desert
We’ve been so busy with moving and travelling that we haven’t had time to update in a while, but we’re now in Arizona and have a place to stay for the next week and a half or so. We’re incredibly thankful for the Lord’s provision and the generosity of so many that we’ve experienced already.… Read More We’re in Arizona!
Compared to those of you who are marathon movers, I’m merely in the training stages. Our friends, Kevin and Kimberly, are two such marathon movers considering they’ve moved about 9 or 10 times in the past 10 years. They graciously donated all of their boxes and packing materials to us. What a blessing and what… Read More Moving 101
We’ve so enjoyed our families this month. At the beginning of August, my parents and 3 sisters stopped off in Anderson for the weekend. They traveled all over the country (literally from eastern Pennsylvania to Washington state) holding church meetings and camps. They presented their ministry here at Grace in a Sunday evening service. I… Read More Family, Family
Some of our moving plans are starting to come together. We’ve decided we will be loading the moving truck on Monday, September 7th (Labor Day), when hopefully we’ll be able to get some help with the work. We should be able to leave the following morning, and then spend 3 days or so driving out… Read More Making plans
We officially decided late last week that we will be moving to Phoenix in the next month. We’ve agreed to stay in Indiana until September 4th to help get the school year started unless I find a job first, in which case we’d probably head out there sooner. We are excited about the coming move… Read More Phoenix Bound
The last stop on our survey trip was in Menifee, CA from Friday afternoon through Sunday night. Eric and Alicia True generously opened up their home to us for the weekend, and we truly enjoyed getting to know them and their two boys better through conversation, tours of the area, and even a little bit… Read More Back Home in Anderson
Right now we are at our last stop before heading home. We’re staying with the Trues in Menifee, CA tonight, going to church at Grace Bible Church of Menifee tomorrow, then flying home late tomorrow night. It’s been a great trip—we can already see several neat ways the Lord has been leading us. We have… Read More Update from CA
