First, an update - we are in NC helping Sarah and John get ready to move! Yeah - we are excited to say the least. Pray for them as they have alot to do. They will be staying with us until they find a house to buy and of course, John needs a new job.
It truly is a miracle that they are coming home. After they were home for Thanksgiving they went home and put their house on the market and it sold within a week after getting home.
