Hello?
Knock, Knock….
Is there still anyone out there?
As you can tell from the last post (from back in October), my life has been turned upside down. It’s now been 6 months….6 long scary months since we last visited.
And not a lot has changed, except for one big thing.
We are moving.
To Virginia.
See that little red “A” marker on the map below. Yep, that’s where we’re moving.
Man, that’s a long ways away for this Okie…whose never lived farther than 5 hours from her Momma.
But when your in the ministry…you go where God has called you.
And you get this really strange peace about it.
Oh, I’ve shed my fair share of tears. And I’m not done. We are moving away from blood family. We are moving away from our Crossroads family. It’s scary and exciting all at the same time.
There’s lots more to share, but my foot can only handle being away from it’s pillow and heating blanket for so long.
So I’ll be updating a little more frequently. I can’t express how deeply sad I am that I can no longer bake and cook like I used to. I can barely stand up long enough to fix ramen noodles. But I think there’s more out there that I can share about, right? Right!! And I’ve still got all my other recipes from last year. I may even just blog about the recipes I never got around to sharing, even though I can’t make them anymore.
Man, I’ve missed you guys!!

God will bless you. God will bless you. God will bless you. God will bless you over and over and over….
It may not be easy, but it may be the most amazing blessing waiting for you to discover in your new path. I love you guys and hate to see you go. But, as you know, you have to do what you are called to do and I will not argue with God, because I know there’s a huge blessing for you doing what He desires.
and I have really missed your blogspot!!! You are right,
absolutely right. You do have a lot to share. I know you think you’ve been put up on a shelf, but in God’s eyes you are just on a different path. He has a plan to use you to bless others. Virginia is sooooooooo beautiful and God has some amazing blessings waiting for you there; I cant wait to hear about it 🙂

Shara, I’m so so ….. I don’t know, proud, hopeful, encouraged …. that you have found the strength to write again. You have a heart and soul that longs to share with others. I love you so much. It’s not the first time but everytime it is just weird to feel such conflicting emotions. Joy and sadness. I am truly glad you and Mike are obedient to God’s direction in your lives. I am truly sad you, Mike and my grandbabies will be a three day trip away. I hold on to the promise that God equips us with what we need. I have a feeling I might get fairly needy around about June. Love you much, Momma
These last weeks are going to zoom right on by…can’t believe you are leaving. ;o(
Praying that God blesses you and your family on your new path and I hope you will start writing again so that we can “see” you more.
Good Luck and Best Wishes…

What wonderful news for you, Mike and your family to start a new adventure in your life with God leading the way for you. Won’t it be fun to see what he has in store for you and your family?!?! And with todays technology at our fingertips and web cams you will be able to stay connected to all you love.
God Bless you on your new adventure and would love to see you keep posting thoughts, feelings, recipes and pictures.
Best of luck to you all and God Bless!
