...........It's a New Day for the Hudler's

Hi Everyone,
I post with a joyous heart tonight as we signed the final copy of a new contract for our next home today. This has been a long time coming and we feel like it is a new day for us. Many may react with, "wow, already". But, understand we have been praying for our next home for more than 2 years and God made it clear to us both what house it would be as soon as we were free from the other one. He is blessing us in so many ways in this new home. It is nothing grand or spectacular to the average person, but believe me it is full of my heart's desires. God is granting so many things I have longed for in the waiting. This place has 2 toilets and a dishwasher: never again will I take those things for granted. But it's not just the obvious. He is giving me a place to renew old hobbies, sewing and drawing. Most of my friends do not know that I do either because I haven't had the opportunity or space since we moved here. He is giving Jeff a wired, very large and separate workshop. Most do not know that Jeff is an amateur woodworker because he has not seen his woodworking tools in 2 years. We will have a separate school room which we have never had except for a short 3 mo. time period last school year. He is giving us ample space for guests and gatherings, which is something very important to us. And the blessings go on and on. GOD IS GOOD.

So many of you have prayed us through this entire journey. There have been so many bumps in the road. I can not express my gratitude for all the encouragement you have given us. Now we can finally say that we are truly North Carolinians!

I also wanted to post about Brannon. He had another surgery yesterday to repair some things that had gone wrong with the ostomy. This little guy has been through so much. This is the 4th surgery since the fall. Please continue to pray for his healing, and specifically pain control.
