Rob's Ramblings; Big Changes Ahead!

 As I write this, we're currently blanketed under about 7 inches of snow. Our city hasn't seen snow like this for a few years. School was cancelled, and most of the city was shut down. We were advised to not go out unless absolutely necessary. Snow days are always fun, but it also always means shoveling! This was a thick, heavy snow, too. It took me a while, but it's done, and I'm worn out! 

Big Changes Ahead: I'll just lead with it... I'm going to be moving. Not out of country, not out of state, not even out of town. The rental in which I have been living for the past 10 years has been sold. I have until the end of March to find a place, pack and move. This is a tough deal for me.  I have grown to love this house, and really hate to leave it. It's also an overwhelming task to pack up a house with 10 years of accumulation. I am currently going through stuff and throwing a lot of stuff away. I was planning a huge purge this Spring and Summer, and planned to do it at my leisure. Now, I have to hyper-drive it. On my fixed income, the only place I have found in my price range are 1-bedroom apartments. Going from a 2-story 5-bedroom house to a 1 bedroom apartment. A little bit...no....a lot bit...overwhelming.  Of course, I plan on taking my cat with me. She is family. The place I'm looking into is pet-friendly, so that's cool. 

So, what's this all mean? First, my baking business is on hiatus until I am settled. Second...and this is the one that pains me....possibly no more Christmas open house? It just depends on how much room I have. 

Folks, I need your prayers. First, I need to make sure I'm cleared out before April 1, and I will need help moving. Needing trucks and strong backs. Also, this is going to be more costly that it was before. I have crunched numbers to save money, but overall, this is going to be skin-tight. Especially with move-in costs, deposits, and etc. I'm praying for a financial windfall to pull me through. 

To close out this post (because I have work to do), God's got this, He's come through again and again....and again. This is a big exercise in faith. I don't know the future, But God does. I'm telling God how big my problem is, but I'm also telling my problem how big GOD is. Please pray that I'll stay strong in my faith, and that God will supply all of my needs. I'll be sure to keep you updated along the way. I pray God's best for you. God bless you!   ***Rob***
