Moved. For The LAST Time

We moved on Thursday - for the last time. We are in our OWN home, no one can kick us out (at least not easily.)

I want to write all about it but I also want to do it justice. Maybe tomorrow.

Not Moving Today

I thought we might move into the new house today. It didn't happen. Our street was dug up and our car couldn't get through, plus O. has been running behind the land for our Christmas program. The owner of the land in front of our school that we use every year refused us this year. Thank the Lord, we got land next to the school, but it was full of bushes and stuff. It needed serious cleaning. So, O. was overseeing that.

I asked him to focus on moving the house tomorrow. So, I may be sleeping in my new house - tomorrow?

This might have been a more interesting post - but I'm packing simultaneously.

Rejoicing And Mourning

As the United States Rejoices, Mourns, or is just caring less today, I cleaned my house. Cleaned means - CLEANED OUT my house. I've heard that women before giving birth have the cleaning "nesting" instinct. Personally, I've never experienced it. I have no "cleaning instinct." God, in His sovereignty while creating me, decided not to give me any of that.

Actually, what I've been doing is pulling out all the boxes, suitcases, etc... that are mostly full of trash, that have been dragged from house to house over the last nine years and stored away. While I was cleaning out O. said to me, "Don't do this now. You are doing your thing, I do mine, let's work together to get something done - like the Christmas donation sheet." (translation- let's do my work.) Later I said to him, "how many times a year do you see me cleaning out the house? Once, twice - maximum." Don't crush the mood, man. Don't crush the mood. The mood is here today and it may not come back for a good 6 months.

Eventually, he joined his hand in some of the decision work. I said, I don't care where the stuff goes I just want it OUT OF MY HOUSE. And I never want to see it again.

I also noticed today that I had only 1 (one) view on my blog. I'm just gonna blame it on the election...

Moved The Office

We moved into a new office facility today. This one encompasses our offices, Bible College Principal and House Parent's homes, Bible students' dorms, guest housing and teaching areas for the Bible College. Basically, a bunch of places in one.

It was not nearly the nightmare I thought it would be.

Moving As It Really Is

We started the move today. Hopefully, we'll be done tomorrow.

As usual, one person works...
... and everybody else just stands around. Just Kidding! Everyone is working hard and we're very thankful for a college full of Bible Students to help. Yay!

I Hate Moving

I think the title of this post just says it all.

I hate it. I can't go to sleep at night without thinking about all that needs to be done.

I find the whole process of moving all you own from one house to another utterly distasteful, loathsome, bothersome, despicable, miserable, rotten, stinky, repugnant, detestable, abhorrent, very unpleasant and I hate it. Did I mention that?

Pray for me, we're moving this week. (shaking her head.)
