THE NICHOLS FAMILY

Sad News...

Looks like we are going to be moving. Where? That is yet to be determined. Shay's account here closed on Tuesday, with very little warning, and we are waiting for JB Hunt, or should I say the Lord, to tell us where to next. I cannot begin to tell you how sad it will be to leave this town that we have made our home. A part of me really thought we would be here forever. I actually don't think I realized how big that part was until this all came about. I am NOT ready to say good-bye to our friends, our church or our home, so right now I am refusing. I will save those tears for another blog.

As sad as I am, I am trusting the Lord. If He says it is time for us to leave Dothan than we will. I'm trying my hardest to be a good, supportive wife and praying for a wonderful opportunity to come available for Shay. Please pray that I maintain this attitude and cry when he is not looking. Also say a prayer that our house sells quickly, this is a major stress for us. (May be a challenge, as you can see one of the many other for sale signs in the background of the picture.)

We have many friends praying for us to be transferred to different towns. I told some friends from church that I am afraid God is going to be overwhelmed with the amount of towns being requested and He is just going to close his eyes and throw a dart. I guess I will let you know "where our dart lands..." as sweet Melinda put it.

I'm sad for you Nise! You know God has a plan. I'd be super sad if we had to leave Pensacola. I'll be thinking of you guys. Love you, dear friend!

Denise, I'm so sorry! I'll be praying for y'all. It's going to be hard leaving Dothan, but I'm sure you'll fall in love with wherever y'all end up next!

I know you're sad, but just think this new adventure will be fun for ya'll. And, I will pray for your "supportiveness", I know it's hard to do sometimes, but you can do it!!!

You know that I just really can't even comment on this right now. I will say, though, that I hold Colbi personally responsible for my broken heart!

Gail said...

Honey, I don't know you....BUT...I sure understand. I, too, had to leave my beloved home in Dothan. I still miss it, but I know...God has directed my path. Good luck and just think good things are ahead. Man might make his plans...but in the end...It's God who directs his steps! It will all work out for the good. It's HIS promise to us. God Bless and speed...

I am sad you all are moving. Even though we don't do much I know you are such a blessing to so many. God timing is perfect! I always think He is late or that I know best. But I can honestly say. He is so right and His plans are perfect.
You will have to retake that picture when I get my pretty sign in the yard.
