Well, we are finally down to our last five days in Charlotte, NC. It almost seems surreal as I have avoided facing reality until now. I have begun the good-byes and the packing of final items. Mike has been in Chicago this past week securing us temporary housing and Sarai and I have missed him greatly. But God has definitely been going before us. We had one house possibility fall through and the apartments wanted way too much for a six month lease. Then another home became available through a family in the church and it just happens to be right in the area where we will be planting and a great fit for our needs until we can purchase our own home. God's timing is perfect and I am learning that more and more through this experience. So Mike will fly "home" tomorrow, we will pack the moving truck on Saturday and begin the journey to our new home in Chicago on Monday, April 7th. As we close this chapter of our life in Charlotte, we are feeling so thankful and so very blessed. We would not trade the relationships nor the memories we have made here for anything. But we are excited about the new chapter God has been preparing us for in Illinois.
Here are few pictures of Sarai enjoying her last few weeks in sunny, warm North Carolina!
