Soo...here is my big announcement.

[MelodyB]

Life...it changes.

Ok, so. I suppose it is time to make my announcement. I am moving. Like to another state. Haha.

Most of yall know I had lost my job, had the water turned off, found a job, sold my car, but an still struggling to make ends meet. The last setback was that I got the power turned off due to not being able to afford to pay it, and I wont be able to pay my rent for this month, because the job I got is only part time, and no one seems to want to hire me full time, eventhough I am over qualified for some of the jobs I had applied for. I am not ashamed of any of this because through it all I was trying to keep my faith up, and I knew God would provide. He provided me with the part time job, and allowed me to sell the car for enough to keep me afloat for another month. I was certain that He would provide again before I would have to move out and lose everything I had, and He did, just not in the way I imagined.

Friday, my parents came to town and picked me up and we headed to my Nieces Birthday party, and on the way, they told me of an opportunity that I couldnt pass up, and after all weekend, and talking to Jesus about it. I think that this may be the solution that I was looking for.

I was offered a job in Mississippi working in my Uncles church full time. I will have my own office, and brand new computer and get to live there in my parents motorhome on my Uncles driveway, I will also be getting paid as well. I thought about it and weighed all my options, which was really just one other one, stay here and not have a place to live, and I talked to my Pastor, and I have decided to accept the position up there, and move. I have nothing to lose, as I will be kicked out soon anyway, and I dont have a job that will pay my bills, so I might as well try this for awhile and see what happens. If it doesnt work out, my uncle said I can come back here, and he wont be offended.

So....today, I quit my job, made some calls about storage places, and got some things straightened out, and then on Wednesday, I am leaving to go to Sis Mom and Bro Dads in NC for Thanksgiving, and when I get back, I will be moving. I dont know how long it will take me, but I plan to be out of here and moved to Mississippi around my Birthday on the 15th.

This is CRAZY and FAST. But, I really do believe that the hand of God is in it, by the way it all panned out, and especially the way my Pastor and his wife acted when I approached them with it last night. I had made up my mind that if he said "No" then I would not ask any questions, I would just stay here and wait for God to provide another answer, but my Pastor was all for it, and he said that it was ok to do this.

So, I guess what I am saying is I am moving. Yes, I am scared, yes, I dont have a clue what is in store, but I do know that
whatever it is, God HAS been in it, and He still will provide for me, no matter where I am.

I ask for your prayers above all.

So there is my story.

[Chseeads]

I think you should sing that for a special when you move to Pascagoula.

[Tricia Lea]

I thought she was going to get married or something.

you know that poped in my mind too lol but knew if that was true she couldnt keep it secret that long lol

[iridiscente]

Like what?? This is major...to me.

Chel...look it up for me...how far are you from Pascagoula MS?

We're probably about 6 hours but my husbands family is from Jackson and that's only 2-3 hours away.

[RainbowJingles]

I thought she was going to get married or something.

Hmmm...  Maybe that'll be next? 

**HUGS** Melody and her plans

[MelodyB]

Well I have had a VERY productive day.

I got up this morning and got ready, then Courtney came over and we started packing. She left and got a BUNCH of boxes, and came back and we packed the whole livingroom, and the kitchen and bathroom. Then we went and rented a storage shed. Then we made three trips to the storage place and got a bunch of stuff moved in, including my beds and a bunch of boxes.

Getting the beds there was a RIOT!! I have pictures. We loaded down the van, and Courtney drove, while I held the mattress so it didnt tumble out the back, since the beds were longer than the inside of the van, and the hatch wouldnt close. On the next trip, the box springs would NOT fit in the van, so we hoisted it on the top, tied a rope to it, and held it while I drove REALLY slow...CoBo got that experience on video. Haha. It was great, I have not laughed so much and had such a good day here at home in a LONG while.

The unit I rented is kinda small, and I am not sure if I can get all my stuff in there, but we will sure try. I am amazed at the stuff we acomplished today, CoBo is kinda a small girl, but she is tougher than I ever gave her credit for.

Im at the church currently, waiting on chior practice. Im not in the chior anymore seeing how tonight they are working on Cmas stuff and I am leaving before the program, but it is dark now, and I cant do anything more at the house, and it is warm in here, so Im here. Plus someone is bringing some boxes to me tonight. Ill be staying at Cindys for the rest of my time here in Florida, since I packed up my bed in storage today...so for those of you who were worried about that...dont worry. I will have heat and food now.

Tomorrow CoBo will come back, and we are doing the bedroom, and if we can use her Dads truck, we can move the dressers and stuff too, and I will be finished. Then I just wait out the weekend, and clean and such, and then leave next week when my Daddy comes to get me.



This is kinda bittersweet, and while packing today, it has started to sink in that I am actually leaving.

[MelodyB]

This was on our second run to the storage place....Courtney had to drive so I could hold the stuff in the van.



This is what it looked like from the back with me holding it...



And this was our third run...with the box springs on the roof of the van...notice the rope...we had to hold it so it didnt fly off...
