Things We’ll Miss When We Move

June 16, 2014 by NZ Filbruns 1 Comment

I finally got around to taking pictures here to show you this house and the features we especially love. Before I got them posted, we were told, this past week, that we have three months to move out. The landlord decided he wants to sell the house and thinks it will sell better empty. Now, we have the challenge of finding a house again—no easy proposition for our size family. It will be interesting to see what God does this time—but it’s sure not fun to be in this position! We love living here, all except the flooding, and there are certainly things we’ll miss.

The kitchen, with its wonderful coal range (wood cook stove):

The living room/our bedroom:

The boys’ bedroom:

Esther’s bedroom:

And outside, I love the freezer room (old woodshed several steps from the back door):

the jar room:

the big clothesline:

and the dry, convenient place to  milk my cow.

I sure don’t know what God has in this, but I’m trying to hang on to the fact that He does have a plan for us. Your prayers would be appreciated! We thought we had located a place already, but then they changed their minds.

    Praying for your family. The thought of moving is daunting, but moving while pregnant is doubly daunting.
