We are MOVING!! Yay! I am so excited to be moving back "home". Dan accepted the call to be the Senior Pastor at Emmanuel Church in Yankton, South Dakota. We both grew up in the vicinity, all of our family is there, and most importantly-the church is awesome & has accepted us as we are. We are all so excited.
However, the moving part has me stressed to the max & beginning to feel A LOT crazy. Yankton is a small town (depending what standard of measurement you use-by South Dakota standards-it is a decent size town, compared to Denver-small). We are looking for rental housing but it is eluding us as of right now. We are loading up the moving truck & hitting the road on June 10th! That leaves us not much time to find a place to live.
Yes-I know God will provide. He ALWAYS, ALWAYS does. You'd think I'd learn to trust a little bit. What I need to remember & what Dan & I have reminded each other almost daily is: "God provides, he doesn't necessarily give us what we think we want/need/deserve (ie. a large, large house with a large, large yard for our ridiculously large, large family)-but what he does give us is ALWAYS better than we could have envisioned for ourselves". Now-I'm not throwing out the name it & claim it theology here-I'm just trying to remind myself that God knows ALL THINGS. It may be in my family's best interest to squeeze into a 3 bedroom apartment for 6 months-I don't know. But luckily, I don't have to. God has got it under control.
So-I may need a few gentle reminders about what I posted. Feel free to email me at kelly.freng@live.com to remind me-because I can guarantee you that I'll be stressed out & freaking out again by tonight.
Yikes! June 10th! Unbelievable. Listen, if anyone can get organized and get packed and clean bathrooms, it's you! We can't wait to come visit.(sooner rather than later) I'm definitely praying that God is saving the perfect house just for you. So excited for all 7 of you!
