Many of you have been asking me about our upcoming transition, so I wanted to post an 'official' announcement about our move to Spokane!
As many of you already know, my family has been separated since October. When the fallout in the housing sector was at its greatest, the company Tye works for let go of almost 80% of its employees. We were blessed to have been given the opportunity to stay with the company, but Tye would have to work in Eugene. Since then, the kids and I have been here, and he has been coming home only on the weekends.
To be completely honest with you, it has been quite a struggle for all of us! We prayed everyday that God would reveal His plan, and that we would have the wisdom and strength not to push forward without Him. He provided more strength and patience during that time than I could have ever had on my own, but this was not how He intended a family to function!
About two months ago, after realizing that we were not going to relocate to Eugene, the company approached Tye with an opportunity in Spokane. Two days later, our house sold! I had such mixed emotions about the entire situation! After much thought and prayer though, we were both convinced that this is where God was leading us to go!
That being said, I am truly devastated about leaving your little ones behind. My little class of seven kids has brought me more joy than you could ever know. I have grown to love each one of them as if they were my own! My sincere hope is that each one of you will keep me updated on their progress with pictures or emails now and then! The fantastic news is that God always provides a solution, and usually one that is far superior to anything we might dream up on our own.
Easton's mom, Melanie, has agreed to take over the class until the end of the year! She was my top pick, and I could not be any more thrilled with her decision to step in! She is a certified teacher, has several years of experience, and has even developed curriculum for children's' ministry in her church! She has very similar expectations of the kids, and will be in the classroom with me during my last week to help make the transition a smooth one!
Thank you for sharing your children with me this year, and for your support and encouragement. It has been a wonderful experience, and one that will be hard to match anywhere else! If you have questions about what will be happening over the next two weeks, please let me know! I will be glad to address anything that comes up! God Bless!
