Thank you everyone for all your prayers! God is working out our move to TN in amazing ways – but let’s get straight to the news scoops.

Dad got a security job at a local college! What an answer to prayer! He had checked out the college several months ago, and really loved the campus’ environment – but all the security positions were filled. Most people would have simply given up, and gone back to attacking the classifieds, but not Dad. He was confident that this college was where God wanted him, and that God would give it to him when the time was right.

Well, I guess the time is right! Dad never gave up, and patiently called the college a couple times a month to let the Security Director know that he was still interested. Praise the Lord!

He starts work on the 19th. But therein lies the rub, because most likely, we won’t be able to move in by then!

What’s needs to get done before we move? It’s a bit complicated, and I don’t think any of us completely understand it, but it reminds ALL of us like dominoes….

First the electrical needs to be inspected,
Then a new circuit needs to be run out to the well,
Then the well company needs to come and set up the well pump,
Then the power company needs to set up a meter and connect the power,
Only then will the painter come out to paint,
And only then will Oakwood come out to give the final inspection
etc……..

I think you get the idea!

Probably what we’ll end up doing is sending Dad to live by himself in the unfinished house, and then joining him a week (maybe 2 or 3) later. It all depends on how things pan out. If there’s one thing we’ve learned about construction in NY, it’s that there’s always delays. Combine the delays of construction with the laid back demeanor of TN country living….

We appreciate your continued prayers as we prepare for the busyness that’s dead-ahead!

Here are some misc. pictures from the property over the last couple of weeks.
