Moving on up!!!

We moved into the "big"RV on Saturday.  It took us all day, but we did it.  The place is huge in comparison to the other.  We cannot tell you how grateful we are for the generosity of the Florida Diaster Relief group who has supplied us with housing.

Outside porch!
This morning I went outside and straightened up all around the porch.  I swept everything off, gathered a small trash pile, arrranged our furniture, hung the patio lights and the wind chime all the while, Ike was looking on from his tent.  There is already some really beautiful plants surrounding the area.  There is a small hanging garden under the tree with multiple things growing, an enormous potted fern and my little pink flowers all dressing up the place.
 


On the inside, the kitchen is awesome.  I have enough counter space to prep, cook and clean.  There is a double sink, microwave, stove, oven and even a side by side refridgerator.  I think I need to go buy some more food!  There is enough storage for all my appliances and all the food.  It came supplied with plates, bowls, utensils, glasses and other various items.  So far all I have made soup in the microwave for Steve, but it is ready for the first meal. 
 
 
I think Steve's favorite part is the "living room".  We can actually sit and watch a movie on Netflix in the comfort of our own individual recliners OR on the sofa.  He has already had a nap or two strectched back in his chair and can sit somewhere other than the table to read or do his devotions.  We can now invite people over and in fact had 4 people come over after church last night to check the place out.  There was seating for everyone and room to spare.

In the bedroom there is an actual closet.  I mean double sided doors and everything.  There are drawers and cupboards everywhere.  We were able to bring some additional clothes from my mom's and spread out what we already had.  Inside the bedroom area there is a full shower and full size vanity and a separate room for the toilet.  But wait there is more....a closet holds a combo washer and dryer!  Yes, you heard me right (well, read me right)  a washer/dryer combo. 

There really aren't words to describe how blessed we feel.  God has provided for our housing needs.  He has done that rent and utility free.  We are on the campus of Lake Yale and can walk to our church location.  There is ample parking and even a place to store the boat.  We are right in the middle of our target community. 

Remember the bible tells us "Ask and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." ( Matthew 7:7)  He is waiting to hear from you....

In His service

It was a Monday

Well, yesterday was my first missed day posting to the blog.  It was truly a Monday.  We moved from my parents house into our "lakefront" property at Lake Yale Conference Center.  For those of you with no idea where Lake Yale is, I have posted a link.   http://www.lybcc.com/   A 27ft camper is now home and we feel really blessed to have been given this place to stay.  It was definitely a challenge to fit everything inside.  I guess I should clarify, we did not bring everything.  We downsized a bit on the clothes, doubled up on each hanger, left a few of Steve's books behind and the harp is staying at Mom's for now.  It took two trips to get everything here.  Just as I pulled in, my parents pulled in behind me.  They had been to a doctor's appointment and stopped by to see the new digs.  My mom marched right up to the sink and began washing dishes for me.  I unloaded my car and attempted to figure out where to put ev...

No more memories

 It has been a long 16 months since my last blog post.  Too much has happened...too much. The most significant event was the passing of my mother last September.  It was truly a heart wrenching experience.  Many of you who know me know that my relationship with my mother was difficult.  We loved each other very much, but we had a difficult time spending long periods of time together.  We were both strong willed, independent and opinionated.  She wanted her way and I wanted mine.  Ultimately this caused way too many disagreements and misunderstandings.  These times of turmoil I now realize were a total waste of time for us both.   In those last days, sitting in her hospital room, it became all too apparent we had spend far too many times being frustrated with each other, arguing or not speaking.  When they told us we would have 2 to 12 months on hospice, I resolved myself to make it the best time we had ever had....

Time stolen

Time is quickly stolen away as I realize it has been ten days since I last put my thoughts into a posting.  My weekdays are consumed with work and I am so mentally exhausted at the end of the 10-12 hours, I cannot think of anything except doing nothing.  The weekends are a dash of running errands, church activities and trying to cram time in with family and friends.  When I woke this morning, I could not believe Saturday and Sunday had already come to a close.  This morning actually consisted of my husband waking me at eight minutes after seven.  For a point of reference, I usually leave the house at 7:05 am each day.  That should give you a quick understanding of how my Monday started with a bang.  Before I could get to the car, one of my employees was calling to tell me she would be out sick today.  I tried to force my brain into action as I reviewed what else was going on today.  It had already escaped my memory that I had one employee c...
