Leaving Iowa City was difficult. Clint has lived in Iowa City for 8 years, which is the longest he has lived in any one place; I live there for five years. We have developed many wonderful friendships and created special memories, which made for many tears as we said goodbye and reminisced about how God abundantly provided for our spiritual, physical and relational needs the past five years. It is always so exciting to see God at work around us and I am grateful he allowed me to see his Glory in Iowa City.
Clint graduated in May and is now a doctor. I am grateful for and proud of his hard work as a student, husband and father. After graduation, we pack up our apartment and drove to Des Moines where we lived with my family for four days waiting to close on our new home in St. Paul. We had to wait four more days at my grandparents in Stillwater, MN, but we finally got to move in a week after we had planned.
With the many changes in our life the past month, Jeremiah 29:11 has encouraged me.
“For I know the plans I have for you” declares the Lord, “The plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you Hope and a Future.” Jeremiah 29:11
What an exciting adventure the past five years have been. I look forward to the one ahead!
More to come of our new home and trips to Branson and Florida.
