I wanted to stop in and let everyone know that we are finally going to be moving in about a month. I will probably be off line for a time, while we begin building our homestead. We are extremely excited and grateful to God for all that he has done to make this happen. About 3 months ago our landlord came to us and told us he was selling our property. We began seriously looking toward moving out of state soon, but apparently God didn't feel we were moving fast enough because 3 weeks ago the landlord came back to us and said that he was having tax problems and we would have to be out of here by Sept. 23.

Fortunately God already had everything worked out, including a nice piece of land, with some very nice owners who were willing to sell, and not one but three good Job possibilties within driving distance. This in a place we had been calling about Jobs for quite awhile to no avail. We have one very good Job offer and two more following behind. I am so thankful for God's provision in my life. This move has also given me th opportunity to straighten out somethings that I needed to straighten out before leaving the state, including an old ticket that has a story as long as my arm.

So as of Sept. 23, it's Oklahoma here we come! We will be starting a new part of our lives and regretfully leaving behind the family we love so much. And now we will begin the task of making a bare piece of land into a beautiful homestead. So as of the end of September you all will get a break from Little Bit's darn stubborness, but in the words of Arnold Schwarzeneger(sp? hehe),"Ill be Back".

LBF: Good luck and God Bless! I'm sure you'll have lots to let us know about once you get settled! Keep a journal and take lots of pictures! Jan

That's good news, Little Bit, but I do hope you are able to get on line once in a while and keep us posted about how things are going with your family. And find all the information you share here about things that are going on! We will miss that.

-- Kathleen Sanderson (stonycft@worldpath.net), August 26, 2000.

Hi Little Bit, We'll miss you!Hope you can get back on asap! God bless you & guide you! In His love, ~~Tracy~~

-- Tracy Jo Neff (tntneff@ifriendly.com), August 26, 2000.

I would very much like to hear about the differences between life in Oklahoma and life in California. We lived in the Los Angeles suburbs for over 30 years before moving here to Virginia. Needless to say, we are THRILLED to be out of California (sorry if I've offended any Californians - just my opinion that Virginia is a far better place to raise a family!). Much success to you in your move...

Little bit, Funny how things work sometimes. Praise the Lord. I'm very happy for you and yours. I will miss your spiritual guidence here. You have helped more people than you think w/ your faithfulness and knowledgable postings. Yes, please keep a journal for us. God speed, John Mengel in S. IN.

-- John (jsmengel@hotmail.com), August 27, 2000.

Rich Blessings, my friend ! I wish you every good thing you can hope for. Ohh yeah--write soon !

-- Joel Rosen (Joel681@webtv.net), August 27, 2000.

i agree with all the others in wishing you the best of luck but with God's help luck won't be needed because even if things aren't what you want He will get you on with your's and His plans for you. i

i hope that a local library will have this forum available to you so you can keep us abreast of what is happening.

i also think that the land you are moving to is luckey to have a homesteader to be its caretaker.

looking forward to hearing how things are going.
