We have now officially have been back from Maine for 4 days and are longing to return. We are even starting to make some plans to move back up there, if the Lord wills. While up there our hearts were stirred a lot by all the family and friends to move back. Grandpa's condition, which is deteriorating at a rapid pace also makes that desire even stronger. When you are in Grandpa's presence he has an idea of who you are although not your name but once you are out of sight he has no idea who you are. He has told other aunts and uncles that he does not know who is living in his house with him on occasion when they take him to have dinner.
I know mom would probably like to work part time even just on weekends and that may be possible if we were to move up there. Being a farmer pretty much controls your life so really the only opportunity for dad to see us is when we come up there and that is hard for him. Even on the farm the air smells a lot sweeter up there. I love snow and a winter where we have temperatures of 70 just is not right to me.
In the past two months I have been looking at going to get my bachelor's in Photography but there is not a single school in Arkansas that offers that as a major, UALR offers a minor but I am no good at drawing, which would have to be my major. But in New England almost every school offers Photography degrees. And as my Aunt was saying there are plenty of dentists and teeth in Maine that Rachel could work on.
One major con is the churches up there. Rachel and I remembered that the sermon's were very short at my Grandfather's church but were brutally reminded when we went to church. It seemed that I had just started taking notes when he was closing in prayer. If we moved up there we would not attend church there but rather Eliot Baptist, where they have expositional teaching and the sermons are about 40 rather than 15 minutes.
Our lease is not up until September 30 so if we do move this year that is when we would be moving.
Luke 9:23
And He was saying to them all, " If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.
