839 miles is the approximate amount of space that will be in between my home now and my new home to be in Washington.
It is so crazy to look back and see where God has been putting things in place for this new adventure to start.
That is currently something I am sitting on and processing as we speak. How God has worked out the details and put things into motion way before I knew what was going on and has orchestrated our hearts to follow after what He has laid before us.
We have always had the desire to move to eastern Washington (for those of you that don't know that is where my husband is from and where the majority of his whole family is) but we never thought that it would happen anytime soon. We were established where we were at, comfortable, had good jobs and never really had peace about picking up and moving our family of four.
That was until a recent trip to visit my husbands family. We left the trip both feeling out of the blue that it was time. Some key factors played into this that I won't get into but it became very clear that God was telling us it was time to go. Making this decision did not come lightly. Jason has a job he loves, we have a church home, friends and family here that all would be sooo hard to leave But after much prayer and contemplation I had peace. Peace that my new home would be in Washington and peace that God would work out the rest.
We took a big gamble and gave ourselves a moving date without a job for Jason to go to. We felt that if we handed it over to God like He was asking He would provide and now as our move date approaches we see where He is showing up just as we knew He would.
I can look back now on the last 6 or so months and see how God has been moving pieces around to make this move happen. I am humbled, thankful and I sit in awe at a God that loves me so much that He would so carefully orchestrate the path He has for us. Thankful for the new life that we will build centered around Him in Washington. Excited for the chances Jason and I will have to invest in, love on and minister to the people He puts in our path in Eastern Washington.
Ready for a new adventure as bittersweet as it will be to say "see you later" to the people who have helped to shape Jason and I in our walks, marriage, family, friendships and ministry
