Moving.

is nearly packed.

The closets and cupboards are empty.

Stacks and piles are waiting . . .

to go.

The truck comes tomorrow

to load it all up . . .

and I'm feeling kind of sad.

We've been here for nearly five years --
way longer than our average stay.
We have watched many friends come and go
and now it's our turn --
to say goodbye.

It makes me very thankful . . .

that it is not about the structure,
but what's inside
that counts!


We have plenty of love
(with a little side of crazy)
to make this new nest as
blessed as the one we are leaving.


A final blessing from our sweet Randolph nest ~

I'll be back soon . . .

Catching up on your blog...moving is so bittersweet (fun, exciting, exhausting, sad). Loved reading about how God has kept you in Texas for many more years than you thought. He is so amazing...so glad for His trustworthiness!

Oh Tina, having done the same many times as well, I am feeling nostaligic for you, myself! :)

In our closet we still have many boxes from our last two moves (by the same moving co) and I will catch a glimpse of the writig on the sides, daily. It says, "With every move, there is a new beginning."

And every day, I think, "so true."

SO... here's a toast to fond memories...

and new beginnings!

May God Bless You as you settle in to your newest nest. With Him at the heart and your birds around you, in no time it will feel just. like. HOME.

With Love and Prayers and (((Big TX-sized Hugs))),

Hey Tin,

Praying for all of you as you transition again to a new home. Fritz just got done saying that he wished we could be there to help you guys. We can pray though and pray we will...for strength and also for Teddi and Brogan. Love and miss you bunches and bunches! Jod
