Oh my gosh will it ever end?  LOL   And to think we sold most of our belongings, well at least we thought we did until we started packing.  Four yard sales later and I think we could have a couple more....  Nah!!  LOL    I had my fill of them, let me tell you......     We are getting down to the last few days in Jacksonville.  Mixed emotions flying around here.    Excited and looking forward to our new adventure, sad and feeling lonely leaving all of our friends.  All I've got to say is, Praise GOD for cell phones, xanga, JCFaith and the internet.. How did we ever manage to live without them years ago?? 

We love all of our Jacksonville friends and we will miss you dearly.  Please update your Xanga and JCFaith sites so that we can keep in touch.  AND PLEASE CALL US AND COME TO THE MOUNTAINS FOR A VISIT!  Thank you for your love, prayers and friendships, it has meant so much to us!!

My daughter, son-in-law and precious grandson, will be headed to another part of TN.  CAN I JUST SAY HOW HARD IT WILL BE NOT TO SEE MY GRANDSON EVERY MORNING!   My kids too of course.....  Pray for me this is a hard one for us, we have been with him since birth, but we know that GOD's grace will be sufficient and HIS will for all of our lives is way more important than our selfishness.  Actually once I surrendered to HIM,  HE immediately soothed my aching heart and has been doing just that everyday.  HE is so faithful and worthy of all our praise.  I know that the Lord has great things in store for them wherever they go because HE is faithful .

I also have a praise report!  Our youngest daughter is home and moving to TN with us!! PRAISE the LORD.  We have been praying for her for so long.  She has rededicated her life to the LORD and is ready to leave her past behind and now live her life for JESUS!!  It is so good to have her here with us!  I have missed her so.  Thank you to the ones who have been faithful to lift her up in prayer and interceded for her.  GOD will truly bless you for your faithfulness.   If you have a loved one who has strayed from the flock, remember, Jesus left the 99 and went after the one who strayed.  HE IS FAITHFUL, THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB.  BLESS HIS HOLY NAME!! 

Please pray that we will have safe travel and that the favor of the Lord will be upon us.  Blessings to you all!
