We have Arrived

We made it to MT on October 31st about 11 p.m. (MN time) It was a long journey but we had perfect weather and no problems on the road. We were very thankful and tired when we finally pulled into the driveway of our soon to be new home!

We were finally ready to hit the road - hours and hours later than we anticipated. We took a few last pictures before leaving

Our UHaul was huge! It was filled to the max too (and I am embarrassed to admit we still have another load left!) Brock also pulled a trailer behind it so it was quite the big rig. I was going to be pulling our trailer and was very nervous about it because I had never done it before. Thankfully, Brock did what he could to get it behind the U haul. I was sooo happy and relieved! What a man :-) He had Madison with him and I had Isaac and Hannah. It was really hard to say goodbye to friends and our life in MN and was a very emotional drive. It was helpful to be alone in the car - let it all out :-) Of course the biggest help of all is knowing (without a shadow of a doubt) that we are doing what God wants for us. He has provided peace throughout the whole process and sustained us physically and emotionally as we worked like crazy to get packed up and on our way. We had friends that we couldn't have done without - they helped us TONS! Moving was way harder than I ever expected!

We are in awe of the beauty that surrounds us here. Our rental house has a perfect view of the mountains. Here is the view the first day we were here. I love how the clouds are hovering at the top! We live right across from a park, which has been really fun for the kids.

Here is the view from our porch looking down the street

Yesterday the mountains were covered with snow and the sky so clear I couldn't resist taking a picture. Every time I walked by the front window I was captivated by the beauty.

I read this in my devotions this morning and loved it:

"Only the Creator of the universe can know the true needs of His creatures and provide for their ultimate fulfillment"

God is working in our lives in ways that don't always seem "right" to us. I know that my "right" is subjective to my own feelings - what makes me happy, what is comfortable etc. I find comfort in the fact that He is the only one who truly knows what is "right" for my life and His "right" isn't subjective to anything - that is true peace to me!
