Week #29: Packed & Loaded

It has been very busy the past weeks as we have prepared to move out of our Flushing, MI home.  Having closed on our house June 17 we were able to rent it for 30 more days as we sorted, cleaned, packed and downsized.

We had a moving sale the end of June and sold several couches and chairs, 2 captain beds and old refrig from the garage and a heavy standup freezer from the basement.  It was both good downsize and simplify but the "stuff" carries memories.  Now that we look back, if we had not had the sale we would not have had enough room in the moving truck.  The Lord is gracious!

Each step along the way we have seen the Lord at work.  From providing enough folks for packing and cleaning to finding a big box along the road for an oversize doll house we can not quite part with yet with hopes of grand daughters visiting us someday.

As of Monday we can confirm that we found a rental condo in Brownsburg that we will start to rent in August.  It is 10 minutes from Whitestown where our first house church group is gathering and not overlapping where some of the other Anglican ministries are based.   When we were in Indy July 7-9 looking for rentals, the Lord directed us to a realtor who was the college roommate of a member of a former member of New Wine in Flint.  Jon was so helpful!  He made arrangemets for us to visit 5 different  potential rentals some in the city and others north and west of town.  But he thought we would like this one in Brownsburg best. While in town, I followed up on a lead of a couple who had shown interest in All Souls.  I called David & Kelli to see if we could meet them for coffee after our searching on Saturday.  They agreed.  Not knowing where in Indy they lived I inquired of their location:  Brownsburg!   It turns out they are half a mile form our rental!  We had a great meeting and new neighbors before we hit the road!  This was one more confirming event in our stepping out on this new mission.


This next month, I will be finishing up my work in Flint.  We are living in a basement apartment of some friends of ours who are providing it at no charge (grace moment again!).  My main job is to be fully engaged in the fund raising process for the Domestic Mission start up of All Souls and the Indy Anglican Network.    I hope to talk with several of you personally over then next few weeks.   We hope to make a quick trip down to Indy to off load the truck the first or second week of August.   Then my last Sunday will be August 14th at New Wine.  We will take a quick trip to Ohio to catch up with family and my 40th high school reunion and then arrive in Indy on Monday August 22.

Keep us in pray as we are praying for many of you.
