Today is a new day....

Ellen talking...Today, March 2, 2012, marks the end of my (getting paid to work) "working" career - what a strange feeling that is just to write those words.  I've worked almost without interruption since June 1968 when I graduated from high school...a little time off here and there birthing babies and moving from one city to another but that's about it.  The job that I left today I had been at for 18 1/2 years...wow.  That's a long time :).

So, what's next?  The next few weeks will be spent getting organized, keeping appointments, and preparing to take the next step...getting a house ready to sell.  The next 4 week-ends are busy attending conferences, speaking at a church in North Carolina, having a family birthday party, attending a one day seminar and having dinner with friends...

Oh yeah - and one more thing.  Preparing for Dave to end his "getting paid to work" career...

Please keep us in your prayers as we transition to this new way of life - we know that God is in it - He is leading the way - this has so far been way too easy for there to be any other explanation - but there are still challenges ahead - mostly challenges to trust and keep on trusting as the timing and strategy unfold before us...
