Little Thorn and I are going back up to south dakota to my dad's.. they have sold their house, literally over night and their new house in Alabama is half the size.. We have to go up and get family heirlooms and i will be bringing them home in a uhaul.
I wondered if any Frens could send prayers our way.. This will be his last move.. His wife wants to be closer to her son (Alabama) which is a bit closer for us to visit which is good.. however, not sure if you remember but my dad fell and broke his c1 in 3 places last year and his condition never really got markedly better.
My mother in law says he is starting to get just overall frustrated.. they weren't able to do anything to fix his neck and he is in a collar for the rest of his life and may need to go into assisted living soon.. and of course my oldest son just had that open heart surgery so he can't help and my younger son is in high school and a bunch of sports so little Thorn and I are going to be doing this pretty much solo.. I have one friend nearby up there who can help me with little Thorn and some loading the truck..
I managed to break my big toe Sunday tripping over a laneline phone cord and pretty much everything is furniture and in their basement..
I am going to have to put everything in a storage unit when i get home because i am waiting on an apartment to open up this summer up the street from my job..
It's owned by a sweet little Catholic chapel and they have a marvelous Montessori an k-8 school i hope to enroll little miss Thorn in next january for preschool. It is two blocks from my job and the students there come once a month and swim at my pool so it would be just the perfect set up...
If it hadn't happened so fast!
They LITERALLY put it on the market and it sold overnight. . None of us had time for preparations..
We leave Wednesday evening.. have a pretty late four hour layover in Chicago.. definitely after our usual bedtime 😅
Anyways.. thank you so much for keeping us in mind.. it is a roller-coaster for sure.. i have a promotion pending.. will be certifying to teach classes as an instructor for silver sneakers (seniors) and to train lifeguards and CPR for different things like kids who want to babysit etc..
I have to take a surprise week off work and they're scrambling to cover for me because i work at 4:45am Monday-Friday and that is generally a hard slot to cover 🙃 it works perfect for me but not so much for high-schoolers or my boss who lives a county over and has two boys in different schools she has to coordinate drop off etc for..
Not to mention missing work and the crazy unexpected expenses.. going to be rough.
😅
Thank you , frens!🙏

Lord, bend Your ear to the needs of thorn and thorn's entire family, and convert this chaos into a sweet blessing to show Your love, compassion and mercy in the way that only You can do. We entrust this family to Your perfect will, and rely on Your love in these times that try the hearts of us mere mortal hearts. Thank you Lord.
(Also, I recommend psalm 23. God bless.)
Thank you! He is our Shepherd, and we could certainly a little extra love and guidance in these trying times!
u/#God you will get through this fren!!
Thank you so much, Fren! 🥰🥰

Oh that sounds really sudden and discombobulating!
May you be cool calm and serene and not anxious!
Thank you 🙏 I am definitely overwhelmed.. my daughter is very active.. airport's are crazy anyway.. four hours in chicago.. way later than we usually stay up where I work so early.. trying to reserve a uhaul for a thousand mile haul.. and I need to be back Wednesday for work at 4 am ideally.. I really can't miss work because I don't have vacation time yet.
Dear Lord, We pray for our friend that you give them the energy and the help they need to get the job done. Give them a safe journey and let everything work out for the best. Help them not to hurt another part of their body and heal their big toe. Please Lord, give them neighbors to help pack the heavy stuff and load what is needed. Please help the Father recover from the discs in his neck just like you healed mine some 25 years ago. Bless this family and help them ease into a transition with this move to Alabama. After that Lord, give them many days of comfort, good neighbors, warmth of family and a long and rich life. We thank you and bless you Lord in the name of Jesus we ask these things. Amen.
Amen, Mary 🥰 you always offer the most inspiring prayers!
You're welcome. I want to make sure God "HEARS" it all. He already "KNOWS" what we need, we simply have to ask. God bless you and may you have a safe and productive trip.
what an interesting perspective. personally I think God hears it all, and its up to us to be ready for blessings and allow them to come. but I do think your prayers help with that... so thank you
You're welcome. All prayers help no matter who prays them. God simply wants to see who is following him with Faith of a mustard seed and is obedient in prayer and his word. God loves to spend time with us, and prayer is one way that he gets that. God bless and thanks for the agreement. Where 2 or more gather, I will be there in the midst saith the Lord. Or something along that line.
I'm on it fam.
ThanQ 🥰
Sending Prayers from SA...🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Bless you, dear Purkiss 🤗🤗🤗

Stay strong brother, God is with you!
Realtors are usually connected to estate sale people who you can off load things you don't want to bring. Our recent UHaul adventure including hiring 2 movers- list provided from Uhaul, who packed us up for an 8 hour drive. They were wonderful, as nothing slipped around during transit. If your parents are connected to a church, sometimes they can help with packing. On such short notice, I'm sure your mind is swimming. Best of Luck and I pray everything goes smoothly!
thank you for sharing, and thank you for having faith.
