In a Place I Never Expected!

So, here we are in Westerville, OH. WOW! I really had begun to believe we were going to live in Northeast Ohio forever! I was planning on raising my kids there... watching them get married there... Funny how the second you accept your life the way it is, God reaches down and mixes things up!
So, we get the call from James asking Chris to come work for him. He had asked before, but it had never felt right; never had that God touch on it. This time both of us just KNEW! Of course we prayed about it a bit, spoke to some of our most trusted spiritual counselors... but we knew what the decision was going to be.
It was a quick move! God's hand was all over it in every detail, even in finding the apartment. I had this whole list of places to check out, and none of them were working. Then one apartment manager sat down with us and gave us the lay of the land! She directed us to Lake Forest Apts, which was not on my list due to price. We felt it was of God and came here and ended up with an apartment! They worked with us, James gave us the raise we needed to pay for it, and BAM we had a place to live!
Living in Westerville... It's amazing! I love it here. There are so many things to do, so many conveniences close by. I think it will be awhile before boredom sets in! LOL We are close to Easton Mall, Polaris Mall, and hundreds of little plazas. Right across the street is a Krogers; it's close enough to walk to!! I can't believe how many parks there are around here! We've visited a handful of them, and they are all fantastic! The kids favorite is Huber Village Park which is like a giant castle! We also enjoy going to the Hoover Dam. Of course, now that bad weather is on it's way, there is always the Zoo Park at Polaris Mall; another kid favorite!
This doesn't even touch all the things to do in downtown Columbus. We have already been to the museum of art, but still need to check out Cosi and the Columbus Zoo. Aidan and Evan keep reminding me that I told them there is a zoo here... "Mommy, where is the zoo? I haven't seen the zoo yet. When are we going to the zoo?"
God directed us to an awesome church down here! It's Heritage Chrisitian Church. www.heritagecc.org He's speaking to us every service! They have 4 weekend services, and we like to go to the 5:00 Saturday service before they've 'practiced' a bunch of times! LOL We also went to their healing prayer service last Thursday. AWESOME! We'd like to make it a weekly thing. It's not a kooky freaky thing... just the elders of the church practicing and believing James 5! ;) The Holy Spirit Power is amazing!
Well, I could go on and on and on... but I just want to say that I am SOO thankful that God directed us here. It's the best thing that ever happened to us. We are growing closer and closer as husband and wife, and as a family. We only have each other right now, and each other is our number one priority! We are also drawing closer to God in this. He knew just what he was doing, for sure!
Oh, and of course college is on hold right now! We took the step of obedience in enrolling, and God then decided to show us what he wanted us to do! We will most likely enroll somewhere down here next fall, once we are really settled in and adjusted. Unless God chooses to do something else!
