Moving Out


Picture Provided by: www.montreat.org

We packed up a storage unit and headed out of Bartlesville this past weekend. It was also last weekend that Brenton received a promise filled call from Montreat. They offered him the opportunity to coach the Men's Soccer team at Montreat College in Montreat, NC. A full-time coaching job! This is the blessing we had been praying for, though I confess I was struggling with faith in God's timing these last few weeks. The offer came as last minute as it could have knowing we were moving out of our apartment at that exact time. The Holy Spirit surely has a way of prompting conviction when needed. Thank you for your faithful reminders and blessings Lord!

A little more about Montreat College. It is nestled way up in mountains covered by trees. The 50 year old campus buildings look ancient; they are gray stone masterpieces. It is time I pull out my long dresses and corsets! Combined with the campus is the Montreat Conference Center that has a sparkling lake and breathtaking stone dam. It is the land of retreats for obvious reasons (aka: Billy Graham's home and training center).

We are ever so thankful and amazed at how the Lord has provided. We will keep you updated in the weeks to come. This past week, our first stop was with the Benwares for a little more vacation and goodbyes. The real journey begins this weekend when we move out to the mountains!
