What's up with those crazy Brassell's???

No picture today, I'll post one later this week! My camera is downstairs and I'm too lazy to go get it! So, here's the scoop:

  • God allows us to sell our house because John has not had a job and we were getting short on money..thinking we were going to get an apartment and stay in the area...
  • John interviews for a job with Billy Graham Evangelistic Association....which, by God's plan, was with the father of the ones who are staying in our basement...
  • Tons of people pray for us.....
  • John got hired!...
  • We have less than 2 weeks notice, that we are moving to Charlotte...
  • Renee is frantically packing 4800 sq feet of house into what will have to fit in a 1200 sq foot apartment..did I say less than 2 weeks? Make that 4 days now...
  • John finds out that our insurance is going to be $350 a month and that is going to make it hard to live on one salary...
  • We pray harder...
  • John's new boss calls and says "hey, I'll raise your salary by $5000 a year to cover that expense, no problem"
  • God gets the glory!

So, we are now about to begin a new journey...We have amazing friends in our lives, and plenty of people praying for us, we have never been to Charlotte, don't know a soul there, and we are a little nervous.

We have a new address, but obviously I am not going to post it here, so if you want it, you can call or e'mail us :-)

I'll update you with some great pictures in a couple of days, Thanks for the prayers!

Renee and John
