Captain Ashby at the helm of "Change Of Heart" 

Our Plans and God's Plan

Up until a couple of weeks ago our plan was to pack up and leave from Yorktown VA on July 31, returning to Columbus OH for Margaret’s final academic year at Trinity Lutheran Seminary. After the move we were going to do some visiting and I was going to return to VA to put my 24’ sailboat, “Change of Heart” up on ‘the hard’ until we see where we’ll really wind up in a year or so.

Now revealed, here is God’s plan:
Our tenants in our house in Louisville KY are being transferred back to England so Gerald will be going to Louisville on June 29 to take care of the house, live in the house and get it ready for sale. Gerald will return to VA on July 27 in time to pack and move Margaret from Yorktown VA to student apartments in Columbus and then Gerald and Margaret will spend most of August at the house in Louisville.
Margaret WILL go back to Trinity Lutheran Seminary in September and it looks like Gerald will be at the house (and a job?) in Louisville.

The Lord’s hand has graciously rested on all of our moves over the last 4 years and with you prayers, will continue to be so over the coming months.
The “Change of Heart” is already on ‘the hard’ so keep your eyes open for blog photos of what a sailboat ‘haul out’ looks like close up and personal!
Email response will be intermittent for Gerald starting on June 29 and as we near the move dates you should be using our cell phone numbers with the ‘614’ Ohio area code on them. Those cell numbers will remain the same.
This move is not a surprise but is coming at us a little sooner and different than our original plan. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we continue upon God’s plan.
