About this Story....

Welcome to "Caterpillars to Butterflies." This is a narrative of our faith journey and the incredible transformation God performed in our lives from 2007 to 2009. It is a story of God's unwavering faithfulness and what happens when we choose to trust Him, regardless of how circumstances appear. Through hardships, struggles, loss, and confusion, God revealed Himself to my husband, Tom, and me. We learned invaluable lessons about letting go of our own logic and understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6), surrendering our personal goals, and embracing His eternal purpose for our lives. Ultimately, this journey revealed His redeeming and transforming love for us. We hope our story inspires you to nurture your own faith and deepen your relationship with Him, trusting in His faithfulness no matter what challenges you face. May our journey from caterpillars to butterflies encourage you on your path.

Moving Again—But Not Without a Plan

We met with D and L for lunch as planned on Tuesday (yesterday), and the couple who walked through the house decided they want to rent it. Since they initially requested to move in by the first—but said they could wait until the 15th—D and L asked us to be out by Monday. That way, they’d have enough time to work on the house and pack up their belongings before the renters move in.

When I mentioned to E on Sunday night (with H sitting nearby) that we might be asked to move by the first, H immediately offered for us to stay with her. I thanked her from the bottom of my heart but asked her to pray about it to be sure this was what God wanted.

On Tuesday, after our meeting, she asked how it went. I shared our deadline with her, and she was thrilled—she said she wished we were already moved in! I reminded her again to make sure this was the Lord’s leading, and she assured me she had prayed and was sure. She said it’s been really hard for her to be alone lately, and the idea of coming home to an empty house is deeply depressing to her. She’s genuinely excited to have some company for a while. She even set a tentative timeline of January to revisit the situation. Her plan is to fix up the house and then eventually have a renter upstairs where we’ll be staying.

Once again, God has provided! Thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and provision. I truly pray that we’ll be a blessing to H during this season as well.

I’m still painting at CT’s and now only have two days to finish two rooms and some trim… so this should be very interesting!
