Does life ever feel liked it barfed all over you and you feel like you are playing catchup all the time? This has been our lives since October 31st. We finished at Newton and went immediately into 'home reno' mode. I was painting like a mad man, while Kellee was packing like crazy. We spent 6 days prepping our house for sale in anticipation that we will be moving to the Island (perhaps a little presumptuous, but necessary nonetheless). Then on Sunday afternoon we all piled in the van and drove to Salmon Arm to hang out at Sunnybrae Bible Camp and visit some friends. This was an awesome trip. The Reimers and Halls (pastors in Salmon Arm, and friends of mine) were so generous to us. We essentially had nothing to do for 5 days and it was wonderful. However there was the looming unfinished projects at home still hanging over our heads.
We arrived home late Friday night after a visit with some friends from our 'old church'. And Saturday morning got right back at 'er. So now we have a storage locker almost completely full of stuff, baseboards almost completely up, a house almost completely painted, and carpet guys coming on Tuesday to replace our carpet. So we have a lot of 'almosts' to do between now and Wednesday morning.
Because...on Wednesday morning we leave to go to Victoria for 5 days to interview at a church for the job of Youth and Young Adult Pastor. We are very excited about this opportunity and believe that God has been leading us down this path for some time now and we were just not aware of it until recently. But it gets better still...
Once we get back from Victoria, we are piling in a trailer and driving to Mexico! We are taking 7 days to camp our way to Mexico where we have a free place to stay for as long as we would like (thanks Mel). Then taking a couple weeks to camp back up to Surrey. So we are hoping that in the 4 weeks we are away that our house will sell, we will discover that we got hired by the church in Victoria and that we are moving....how is that for crazy!
But somehow in the midst of it we are relaxed and calm.
Pray for us.
