Major Changes

About this time last year, God laid on Ed's heart that He had a major change for us in the near future.  He convicted Ed that Washington DC was where he needed to be.  So last May we put the house up for sale, hoping in this market and with all the foreclosures in our  neighborhood at the time, our house we sell without us having to bring money we didn't have to the table. Less than 6 months later, the house sold and we basically broke even!  It really was God's hand in helping this happen.  He was still pointing us toward D.C., but now we needed a reason to move there. 

In December, the Chief of Career Services Manager position in D.C. opened up.  This was a position Ed had daydreamed about, talked about, and prepared for, for the last 8 years!  The timing was perfect.  He applied....and of course, with all thanks to God, Ed got the job!!!!  Yep, that is right, we are now moving to D.C!  God has moved any obstacle from our path and continued to push us in this direction.  There is really no question in where our family is meant to be.  Not only did God convict Ed, sell our house and give Ed favor in obtaining the position, but also has sped up the entire process of us being able relocate.  I could go on an on with so many little things that God has taken care of or sped up the process of, but I would be writing for quite some time.  Everything has fallen in placed beautifully.  In fact, we are leaving Texas on March 28 and Ed has to report to work on April 1, which is right around the corner!

I gave my notice of resignation to my job over a week ago and I only have 4.5 short days left to work.  This is exciting for me and our family because once we move, I am going to get to stay home with Nico and Natalee as a full time Mommy and full time homeschool teacher!  We have decided that the best decision for our family right now is for the kids to be homeschooled.  This will also be an exciting adventure!  

With the big move and a huge life transition sitting right in front of us, please keep our family in your prayers.  Pray that all these changes go smoothly and God continues to help guide us, in finding the right place to live, finding a church home and getting involved in the community we are moving to.  Exciting adventures are on our horizons!
