safely here...

We are safely in our new home after a crazy ride up... literally trying to out run the storms and tornados...

At one point I had my sister in Missouri watching the radar for me as the storm seemed right next to my vehicle...

We had to get off the highway and take shelter in a gas station bathroom while the tornado sirens roared... I know some maybe thought we were over reacting... but after serving in moore and joplin... you do anything possible to keep your little ones safe!

We got reports that a tornado crossed the freeway just south of that exit 3 miles  flipping semis and then when we left later we saw the damage 1 mile north.... several flipped  semis.  I am so thankful we stopped...

After that it was smooth sailing and we were so thankful to arrive safely at our new home that night at 2:30.... tired but so grateful for God' protection!!

We continue to pray for those in ok as it has been a terribly busy bad weather spring... that night we left ok to move, there were more storms in moore and many more deaths not too far from there... it had to be terrifying for many people!

We plan to take a team from our new church down to do more tornado disaster relief once we settle in just a bit.  We were so thrilled that our new pastor is super excited and is sharing in the desire to have this new church body go and be used there in whatever way the Lord sees fit!

There is much unpacking work to do... but we are filled with thankfulness for our new life in this new place... Boy do we miss our friends... that is the hard part, and goodbyes were almost more than my heart could take.  But my heart feels totally at peace and the Lord has given us many special blessings since we arrived.  He is so good!

I hope to post more about our move... even our rv trip and pics once we get computers up and running:)
