Moved In

     We are moved in to our new house.  I love our new house.  It took about 3 days to get moved in.  We are not unpacking everything because are just staying here 6 months.  We rented this house so we could have more time to find one to buy that is just right for our family.
    Our house is very close to the Chickamauga Lake!  We have already gone over there for a game of baseball, a picnic, and family devotions.

     Although we just moved in my mom is having us get back on school. 

                                 
We have just been in Chattanooga for 6 days but we already love it.  We have found where we like to get groceries, we have visited a church, and we have already gotten our library cards and checked out books!!  Chattanooga is a beautiful city.  There are a lot of things to do.  We are enjoying finding our way around and can't wait to see more.

Moving Out

A friend loves at all times.  Prov. 17:17aBefore leaving Knoxville we were blessed to have many opportunities to get together with friends. 

Moving day............. Ethan's bed is gone!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                      

Goodbye neighbors!!!!!!!!!!

Goodbye house!!!!!!!!!

SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!

     We are headed to Chattanooga!  Our home is sold and we are leaving Knoxville April 21st!  We have rented a house in Chattanooga for 6 months to live in while we house hunt.  I'm so excited about moving to a new city!  We are going to spend our spring & summer checking out all of the cool stuff to do in Chattanooga!!  To all our friends...Feel free to come and visit us!  (There are so many neat things to do in Chattanooga.)

     Goodbye special friends.  Goodbye church we love.  Goodbye Meadows of Millertown.  WE WILL MISS YOU!!!!!!

Pardon me boy (s), is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo?  (my mom wanted me to put that)

Zephaniah 3:17  The Lord your God is in your midst,  a mighty one who will save;  He will rejoice over you with gladness;  He will quiet you by His love;  He will exult over you with loud singing.

Yes, We're Moving!!!

About three weeks ago my Dad told us that we will be moving to Chattanooga for his job. (I apologize if this catches anyone off guard!) My Dad is a Terminal Trainmaster for Norfolk Southern. We are very excited about moving! This might sound strange, but we are looking forward to being back together as a family. For the last 16 months my Dad has been working in Atlanta, Pittsburgh, and Chattanooga. It has been very difficult for our family to live apart. There have been times when we have gone an entire month without being able to see our Dad, like when he was working in Pittsburgh. We are surely going to miss Knoxville, but we are only going to be two hours away. We thank God for my Dad's job. Many people are out of work and we are thankful that our God provided this job for Dad. Our house is currently on the market but ,we have not had a showing yet. It will be at least a month before it sells, or longer. I'm going to miss this house and my friends in this neighborhood. We are praying and asking God to show us the right house in Chattanooga. I am going to continue this blog through out the move and through out our time in Chattanooga. In Chattanooga, I will have to find a new church, guitar instructor, a house for our family, friends, a basketball team I can hopefully play for, and lots of other things. I am going to be praying that God will help us to find these things.
Matthew 6:33 says, "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.
This means to me, if you seek God first He will take care of the details of your life. How do we "seek first His kingdom"? We meet with God each day for prayer and Bible study, we trust Him, we love Him, we serve Him, we obey Him and we recognize our need for Him. Our focus needs to stay on God and not on the things of this world.

Hold Fast,
Colin
