You will have to forgive the quality of this blog entry because I am very tired and stubborn. Yesterday, I drove 15 hours down to Texas with a 15 passenger van and 16 foot trailer. It was very stressful to say the least! Well, let us back track on what has been going on in our lives these last few weeks.
Shortly after giving our two weeks notice, Shalyn's father, Randy Miller, joined The Lord on May 22, 2013. It was an unexpected situation that has been very difficult on us and the Miller clan. Upon receiving the news, we flew to Florida where Shalyn's mother and father were doing a homeschool convention. After returning from Florida, we had to prepare our apartment for moving, which involved packing and cleaning the apartment. The Lord blessed us with help from Josh, Norah and Jami. We spent 7 hours moving and 8 hours cleaning!
Then we had to travel to Boscobel to be with Shalyn's family while we waited for the memorial service for her father. It was difficult but The Lord showed how many people her father had touched with his witness of Christ. This took place last Saturday. On Sunday, aka yesterday, Shalyn and I drove down to Texas to start our new life at Dallas Theological Seminary! It was a challenging trip after such an emotional day, but The Lord kept us safe!
Today, we found an extended stay hotel to live at while we wait for our apartment to become available on the 13th. We spent the remainder of the day with our friends, Tami, Moryam and Mandi. We had a good time and look forward to growing in friendship (probably more on my end since Shalyn's known them for most of her life). Tomorrow we are going to shop for some snacks and lunch food and recuperate our strength. On Wednesday, Shalyn has a job interview and we could use some prayer on that!
Blessings,
Michael and Shalyn
