Well, I guess this is goodbye Kingsport

The boys and I have left Kingsport. I packed the clothes we need into the camper and packed some to take to my mom and dad's place. It was a little sad. My good friends, Kathi and Melissa, went out to eat with me Saturday for our last hurrah in Kingsport. That was very sad. As I drove out of Kingsport, I prayed to God to take care of all our friends and neighbors, and I asked Him if we were doing what He had planned. I then felt better.

You see I felt calm. We haven't sold our house yet, but I was calm. We haven't bought a house in Knoxville yet, but I was calm. I don't have a job yet, but I was calm. I had two rowdy children and one big dog in a little Saturn, and still I was calm. I guess I felt calm about everything because God calmed me. He gave me a feeling of peace about all the details. I know we are heading toward something that God has mapped out for us, and that can never be wrong.

We are going to be closer to our families. We have already made wonderful friends. We are going toward a terrific opportunity for all of us. There are a lot of things that still need to be worked out, but God is in the midst of it. So, I was calm. It was kind of eerie, but wonderful.

The boys and I will be staying at my mom and dad's this week, and will join John in Knoxville this weekend. We will be camping for about a month in Knoxville until our house sells and we can buy a new home. I will be going to interviews, and the kids will get to visit with their grandparents. It is all going to be good. Keep praying everyone! God is good...all the time.
