We finally got everything tied down and our vehicles loaded up and plans finalized and then out of the blue it RAINED! There were no predictions of rain at all that we knew of and working in 90+ degree heat with perfect blue skies certainly did not give us any indication that we were going to get a mini-soak.
So in the middle of packing and moving and back and forth we got wet. Not fun. Then I realized that it was already getting dark and that my own home was not ready since I was busy getting all the church grounds together. I have a canoe that needs to be secured, an outside Labrador that needs to be dealt with, various bikes and lawn furniture etc. So here it was pitch black dark and raining and I’ve got a house full of 8 children, a wife, and a sister-n-law. As a result we have split up our exodus.
John, Laura, Rob, Steve and the Hays family have all taken off to Laurel while Ray, Fran, Sean, Ben, and my family are leaving in the morning. Ray’s trailer lights are malfunctioning and we’ve had to negotiated a boat, ice machine, and additional trailers.
I’m so tired and brain fried right now I can’t even sleep. We’ve done well today and are prayerful for whatever He has for us. Thank you for all of your prayers.
