When God Calls...We Go.


Part One:
So I am sitting here in front of the computer staring at a blank screen....I have so much to say, yet the words just aren't coming. How do I express God's goodness in our life..How do I do Him justice?
 Within a matter of days (literally days) our life has changed. We are moving to China! I am going to try and make a very long story short..so stay with me. Jeremy's brother Josh is a pastor of a church in California. There is a school that uses the church campus, so Josh was meeting with the owners of the school, for lunch. They mentioned that they still needed a teacher for their international school in China. Josh casually said that his brother would be perfect and that was pretty much that! That night Jeremy met with the owners of the school (it was a wednesday) and that night they offered him a job. We had until Sunday to decide. He would leave the next Tuesday. As you can imagine life was insane that weekend. A lot of prayer, tears, planning. I honestly think I felt every emotion a person can feel. Ultimately we both felt like God was leading us down this path..and so we decided to follow. So we packed up our life... rented out our house (to my parents)...and Jeremy left. I moved into his parents house with the kids...(we are still here).
Second part of the story to come...well let's get serious...and third and fourth and fifth..ha!
