Getting Ready

Often I use the Yellow Brick Road as a platform to share what is happening. Today I am simply going to share a significant perspective: A lot is happening….

John is doing well. Obviously he is still recovering, but for his 11th week post-surgery-anniversary on Monday he walked 10,000 steps! He has 2 more cardio rehab visits here in Florida and will pick up when we get home to Michigan.

Packing (not quite yet loading), deep cleaning (not yet cleaning myself out of the door).

EVERYTHING is living metaphor.

We are in the “getting ready but not quite yet ready” phase as a collective consciousness.

I just spoke to Stacey. She is navigating sciatica pain. Not able to get comfortable to sleep; painful to sit; painful to stand. John had experienced a severe sciatica flare from the first of November until recovery with the hospitalization for the open-heart-surgery the first week of January.

Yesterday, my nephew (David HOWARD) had an amazing experience meeting HOWARD, the owner of Uniquely Gourmet: Wholesale and Private Label Craft Foods in Rusk, Texas. Today is my father’s birthday, also a HOWARD.

Today is also the birthday of our grand-daughter-in-love, Christina.

A lot is happening….

Tom Kuhlman and his wife, Delcy, have had the precious Still Waters Retreat Center which has been a part of my spiritual journey for almost 30 years. This just in from Tom about Still Waters having been sold:

Yesterday was the closing on our place. We will have a couple months to find a place and time to move. We will have a few more months to empty the barn and shop.

So far we have looked at and eliminated 12 places and are headed out to look at a “new listing”.

Before we moved to Still Waters, the State would bring us a list of “possible new places” each week. We didn’t go to all they suggested because several were in subdivisions and not what we needed. However we were looking at the 42nd on their list when the neighbor lady came out and suggested this place we have used as home for the last 33 years. This place was not for sale at the time, but when we talked to the owner……. Long story….. he “talked to the ‘MAN upstairs’ and was told to sell to us…”.

We know the Lord led us to this place 33 years ago when the State bought our house in Berrien for the new highway. That is why we believe God will find a place for us now.

We invite all of you to pray for us as we search.

A lot is happening….
