The Big Bad Move

June 28th - 31st

So officially, the move happened. I no longer have any more possessions in Portland anymore. It's a weird feeling.

But as it happens, Jehovah knows exactly what we need in times like this. Three brothers from my congregation offer to help me install the flooring and to move my junk into my trailer. It was incredible the Love that was shown. I find that there are different levels of love shown. There is teh ever permeating love among Jehovah's people, but then there are times where it feels as if Jehovah has turned the "volume knob" of his love to high. It is ALMOST too much to handle, and if it wasn't turned down soon, you would NOT be able to handle it.

That was my weekend.

It was awesome. Really it was. It's something I hope all of you who read this have experienced.

It is hard to convey emotion in pictures, but here is an attempt.

Getting my Queen size mattress to storage... on my corolla...

So, my mom was cleaning a shelf and a glass cover for a light fell off and hit her in the eye. She got a black eye from it! :( Here is Pyper keeping her company. With just a few weeks till their convention, this makes me really sad! I hope it get's better by then.
