Moving to Mont Belvieu

The Lord is doing an incredible thing in our lives and I wanted to journal it to give Him credit. Rick was going to be laid off by Keller ISD at the end of June so he had begun to look around in late spring for a new job. A school district, Barbers Hill ISD, contacted him and he fell in love with the people and the district. He started his new job this week and I will join him in August. Mont Belvieu is a small town north of Baytown, east of Houston and about 45 minutes from Beaumont. So we are moving! It is incredible to see what God has done so far, working miracles.

What God has done so far:
1. Provided Rick a new job that he absolutely loves.
2. Laid him off from Keller so that he would find the job he loves. He would have never left Keller otherwise, even though he was driving an hour each way.
3. Provided him temporary housing in a nice home for very little money while our home is being built.
4. Provided Kaye a job at Lamar University as a faculty member.
5. Worked out the adoption process so that we will be supervised in our new area.
6. Who ever heard of building a new home in 60 days? That is what is happening for us, we put our money down on June 4th and should move into the new house right after August 5th!
