This is one of God's "suddenlys" with in less than 60 days we went from living in our five bedroom 3500 square foot home for the past twenty three years in Idaho to a two bedroom 1100 square foot apartment in Nashville, Tennessee. On September 11th my manager at Dell sent out an e-mail apologizing for the short notice, but he would be at a managers meeting for the next few hours. A couple of hours later I got another e-mail saying there was a All Hands meeting from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm. This is not the way to announce good news. I went home for my lunch break and asked Ted how he would like to moved to Poland. (A couple of years ago God put establishing a home in Poland in our hearts) When I showed up to the All Hands meeting they opened the meeting by announcing that Dell were closing the Twin Falls site and were offering transfers to anyone who wanted to transfer. One of the locations they were offering was Nashville along with Oklahoma City. Back in May we had just found old friends Dave and Brenda Maddox. We had lost track of them several years ago, but we called to and found out they live less than 10 miles from the Dell Nashville site. We felt that Nashville would be where we were to go. So here we are.Like most of God's "suddenlys" God began working on this move several years ago, but we had no clue what he was up to. It was time for Ted and I to take a six month sabbatical after Ted had recovered from a major bout with Multiple Sclerosis where his vision, speech, equilibrium, and emotional stability were all affected. Once we completed the sabbatical it was clear that were not to return to business as it was before we took the sabbatical. We began the process of turning over the pastorate of the Winepress Christian Fellowship to Tobby Kennedy who had been our assistant for years. So when the news came that it was time to relocate we were prepositioned.
Isn't God good.
Hey Guys! I used to attend Father's House and that's where I met you. I always enjoyed the messages you brought...out of the box. I found out after you had been there about the last time you were at Father's House or I would have made a point of being there. It was interesting how I found out you had moved. I live in Idaho Falls & knew about the connection with Leo's Place. When they opened up Mangini's Take & Bake pizza I decided to try it. I told whoever it was helping me that I knew you and they told me you had moved.
ReplyDeleteGod has just been doing wonderful things with me. He did so much as we walked through cancer together. I am in remission now...but the life lessons continue. It's truly been amazing.
Many, many blessings to you as you start anew in Nashville.
