| Easter Sunday! |
Thank you so much for your prayers and support!!! At last we have a move date. We'll be relocating to East Tennessee June 11-12, just less than a month from now! There is excitement in the Shrader household! It's been a wonderful 9 months since we began this process, as we have had the privilege of watching the Lord provide marvelously for our needs. We sincerely appreciate your prayers over the coming month as we prepare for our big move.
Aside from the obvious excitement over our impending move, Lily is providing us with plenty of excitement as well. In the past month, she's cut her first tooth and now has a couple more on the way. She's mastered crawling and today pulled up by herself for the first time! She's already into everything, and so I can only imagine what it's going to be like when she's walking in a couple of months.
We sincerely appreciate your prayers. Here are some things we'd love for you to pray for in the coming month.
Please continue to pray for Meredith as she transitions out of her job. Her last day is May 31st!
On Thursday, Meredith and I will celebrate 4 years of marriage! On that same day, one or both of us will be making a mad dash to Tennessee to look at a couple of rental houses and hopefully sign a lease! We're planning to go up and back in one day (it's about 700 miles round trip),
so please pray the Lord would keep us safe on the road.
Please pray for the remainder of our support to come in over the next month as we transition. Presently, we have raised about 80% of the support we need.
Finally,
please pray for the moving process as a whole, that we'll be able to find the right place to live and make all the proper arrangements to get our stuff from here to there!
