WooHoo --- I'm out of Jury Duty!!!!

I have finally found a good enough excuse that should get me out of jury duty....stand up and cheer!!! We are moving out of state....do you think that should work?!?! Actually, in all seriousness, I am excited to tell you that God is moving our family to South Carolina. A few months ago we put our house up for sale for various reasons. The day after the sign went in our yard, a pastor from a ministry in South Carolina called Michael because they were looking for a school administrator. To make a long story short, a few weeks ago Michael, Makayla, and I flew down there to visit the ministry. We fell in love with the people right away. When we came home, we really struggled with knowing what God wanted for us. We hadn't been looking to move because we truly love it here. We have precious friends who are like family to us and it is a great place to raise our family. Michael loves teaching and wasn't sure if he was ready to give that up. BUT, God very clearly showed both of us what HE wanted for our family and that is to stretch us and grow us. Although it is bitter-sweet to leave, we are so excited about the new ministry that God is calling us to. If you think of it, please pray for our house to sell. We know that selling a house is nothing to God Almighty and He will sell it in His perfect time. But, we would really like that to be before we leave. :) Michael is starting in SC on July 1st so it will be a busy two months around here. Also, please pray for our kids. Bryant is having the hardest time with this big change, but he is slowly adjusting to the idea. He is so sad to leave his best buddies, but we know that this is God's will for him also. So, all that to say, I am out of jury duty. BUT, I am not going to call sweet Yvonne until the day before we leave because, knowing her the way that I do, I am sure she would find a time to squeeze me in before we leave :)
