Moving

It is finally happening! We are moving! Into caravans. I realised this morning that I am going to sleep in my bed for the last time tonight. After that we will be sleeping in caravans. We already have one of them here. We went and picked it up yesterday. It is a nice enough caravan, but small and rundown. I realized just how small when we started to clean it. It is difficult to believe that such a small space is going to house four people. There are two single beds in it, and the table converts into a double bed. We still need to bring the other two caravans here. All three belong to different friends, all of whom are being very genorous.

I am going to update the Our Farm blog and add a new post called Our New Farm.

I had been excited about the move, but now that it is actually happening, the enthusiasm is wearing off. I am still looking forward to it, but yesterday I looked at the size of the beds we will be sleeping in, and then last night I slept in my bed, and believe me, there is a profound quality difference.

Finally Moving!!!!

It has come at last!!! We are finally moving down to the dairy. We will be living in caravans backed into a shed. 6 people crammed into a space about the size of our current living room. Just as well we all love each other! It will be a good lesson in loving people even when you don't feel like it. To tell the truth, I am greatly looking forward to it. I think it will be nice to have us close together, and it is going to be a bit of an adventure moving into a caravan. Ask me again after a couple of weeks of it and you might hear something different. It is going to be hard, I am not that stupid, but I am still looking forward to it.

Sarah and I both catch the bus to town to work and for Sar's courses. It will be a longer trip than it is from here. Another thing I am looking forward too. It means getting up earlier, but I love beong able to relax and wind down on the bus.

Fellowship

I turned 17 a while back, and we had a belated birthday treat. I had really wanted to see all the other local Christian homeschoolers, so we went to a fellowship that is held reguarly at the home of a friend. It was wonderful! This is my family! None of my extended family are believers, but Jesus promised us that what ever we give up for him, we wil recieve manifold more. How true! We can't go along with our family's sin, but our God has lovingly provided a family who loves Him and not this world! All my cousins are worldly, but I have Christian friends that are far closer than cousins too me. My grandparents hate God, but there is a lady who is more than a grandmother too me who loves God. It was wonderful to see them again, and I enjoyed the evening so much.
