Hello dear friends...
Just want to let you know the happy news that we have moved into our new home!
Praise the Lord, all went relatively smoothly and we brought over our last few things from Glentana this morning...
We are still a long way from settled... so much is disorderly and of course, everything is strange and different... We are completely overwhelmed by how much the Lord has seen fit to provide for us... From beautiful new bedding to pre-loved furniture to fill our home... And so many other things to make this house a home...we are amazed at His goodness and grace!
I don't yet have a proper internet connection...I am currently using my phone's hotspot to post this, but hopefully within the next few days I will be able to write and share more!

I would love to share a few special pictures with you which were taken last
week...I have more, but seeing as my internet is limited, I can only post a couple today. Last week our family went on a wonderful outing to Mossel Bay - we decided we needed to make some new memories together before our move...

We went on a boat trip to Seal Island and then had fish and chips on the wharf... We then visited the Dias museum, but were actually so tired by then that we made it brief and rather walked around the gardens taking photographs...

Hello, sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteI must say this was an exceptionally sweet post...it made me smile! I am so thankful that you all are moved into your new home. I know it will take awhile to make it yours and for it to truly feel like home, but the good news is that you all can take that time. God truly is good, and His provision is beyond amazing {{smiles}}
These pictures of you and your lovely family are so precious! I think they call for frames....what sweet memories you all made together! Caleb is surely growing like a weed and some of the girls are looking so grown up from the last time I saw them. You all are a sweet family and I just wish I could hug you all in person!!
I've been thinking of you so much and hoping the move was smooth. It was such a delight to find this post this morning.
May your new home be filled with the Lord's blessing, and may it be used for His good and glory. May it be overflowing with His goodness and love and may it be a sweet place for you all to call home and make into a haven, refuge, and place of celebration and happiness for your family.
Talk to you soon, Kelly-Anne! Sending a big hug your way ♥
Much love to you all!

ReplyDeleteDearest Kelly-Anne, it's a joy to read the update and to see the beautiful photos of your precious family! I praise God for His mercy in allowing you all to come away from the fire unharmed, and I continue to pray Him for how He has provided for you. I cannot imagine how difficult it's been, but we know that our God provides all our needs according to His riches. We have been praying, and our small group and others have joined us, and I know you have little time to reply...no worries at all. It's simply a joy to see your updates and especially the photographs! Hugs and much love to you all! xoxo
