66 ~ Moving On

By Kay Heitsch

This time, moving on was more emotional than any of our previous moves.

Our dog had to be put to sleep. Shannon was moving to Ohio State, and I was leaving a great, supportive group of friends. This was also the house where I last saw Todd.

It may sound strange, but leaving that house where Todd had left but never returned was hard. I knew he wasn't walking back through the door. But...

Moving isn’t easy, but thankfully, Bill was still working for the company, and the move would be paid for.

I contacted the realtor who had been showing me around and told her our house had finally sold.

We had decided on the location and school system we wanted. Now to find a house.

We were driving around a beautiful neighborhood. I spotted a home I loved. However, there was no for sale sign in the yard.

I expressed how I loved that house as we were passing. The realtor responded, "That house is empty. It was for sale, but they took it off the market."

After making a few calls, we were able to buy this house. You know me, I believe that God was saving this house for us.

This move emotionally was very difficult. But God in His love made it a little easier, knowing I was moving to this beautiful home.
