Well to add insult to injury and further cement my saying that Life Stinks, we were told today that our landlord is not going to renew our lease and we have 30 days to vacate our apartment. Then about an hour later, after we had gone to his office to find out why and got into a heated argument, he called to say he had a change of heart. We can now stay.
But, all of this has made us stop to think about the 18 months of trials and tribulations. We, as a family, have come to the conclusion, with Beth's input, that this is the answer from God we have been seeking and this is his plan for our lives. We are getting the message that He is done with us in Trinidad and it is time for us to move on. In our case, time to move back to Aurora, with the family until we can get on our feet. We have decided we will be moving in with my parents until we can both find a job and have some money for deposits and such.
The only details we haven't quite worked through is exactly when this will occur. We have to get Ben in school up there first, then David and James need to finish this semester at Trinidad State Junior College or they will have to pay back the grant money they have received and we need to find a place for Beth to live for the next 6 months so she can graduate from Trinidad High School. Our plan is to get Ben taken care of first, since the first quarter just ended there and here. We want to get him transferred and settled then we can concentrate on what to do next. We will also have to find a place for David and James to stay for about 4-6 weeks so they can finish the semester. Then they will transfer all their stuff to a community college in Aurora. We have spoken with friends here to see if they will take Beth and they are considering it now. We hope to have that answer in a couple of days.
For now I will be traveling the 200 miles a few more times while getting things going for Ben and then coming back here to pack the household into the storage unit until we get things up there taken care of. We will only be taking our clothes and computers to Mom's as there is no room for much else. This will help with all of David's medical issues as we will now be within 10 minutes to the VA hospital. Thinking of the wear and tear this will save and the gas...my head is spinning.
It will be hard to leave our "family" here at the most wonderful Church we have come to love. But in the long run, we should be a stronger family because of this. We truly believe this is what God has been trying to get through our thick heads for 18 months now. Thank you God for being persistent. God Bless you all!!
