The four letter word that changed my life…….
Hey peeps,
You know what we all think when we say, oh it was a four letter word??!! Yep something from the gutter no less! But I am here today to tell you about the four letter word that has changed my life! Want to know what it is??? Get ready for it………
Yep, I can hardly believe it myself…….that Sold sticker is on the sign at the front gate of our property!!! It has all happened so very fast (well it took over a year, but fast as in 4 days since they viewed the property etc) and well for the past 24 hours I have been emotional overwrought! It is so very exciting and relieving to know that we know that we can now move etc…. but it is going to be so very hard to pack, and say goodbye to family and friends as well!!! I have been feeling nauseous ever since we got the call!
It is so amazing how God works!!! We have been praying all year that we would be able to sell by the time the kids finish school, and well today was the day they finished school, I mean we did think it might happen earlier, but God was teaching us to be patient and to rely solely on Him………Talk about perfect, and precise timing!!! LOL!
So now we have the HUGE job of getting packed up, things loaded into a container, finding accommodation, new school prep with books and uniforms, and oh so much more! I think it will be a good thing that we are so busy as if I think about leaving everyone too much, I will be an emotional mess 
Anyway I just wanted to share our news, and here again is the wonderful sign at the front of our property….!
“God sovereignly works all things according to His will”, Eph 1:11 - What a wonderful reminder!
Have a great night!
Congrats, God has provided for you and your family.
Congrats to you, Keesh!!! I’m so excited & know you must be walking on clouds. Yes, God works in wonderful & mysterious ways!!!!

Congrats Keesh!!
I’m glad it’s all worked out for the best for you and your family
WOW!!!! Keesh!!!! I’m happy and sad at the same time. So HAPPY that you and your gorgeous family have sold your property and now get to begin a NEW chapter in your lives, but sad that you are leaving. This past year has been quite an emotional rollercoaster for you, I’m sure the new year will bring with it peacfulness (hmmm is that even a word!!!), excitement and MANY MANY happy memories.
CONGRATS!!!

Great news Keesh! You KNOW my feelings about you moving but they are entirely selfish as I’m going to miss you so so much. I’m so glad this has all worked out as you wanted with the school year and Rod’s work etc. Happy packing and can’t wait for that big squeezy hug on Sat. Lou xo
wow! nothing like last minute!
congratulations! and good luck, too - four kids equals a *LOT* of packing… (yeah, mum and dad did it a few times… !!!)
Congratulations Keesh. I guess we know what you’ll be up to in the school holidays now. Best of luck with all the packing. H xx
Congratulations on the sale of your property! I hope you are able to relax & enjoy the festive season with family & friends before the big packing/moving task ahead of you. Enjoy your new home wherever that may be. Wishing you & your family a happy & safe Christmas & 2010 xx
Oh my gosh, that is so amazing!!! You must be so happy and relieved! I can’t believe the timing, it is so perfect! Do you think you’ll be moved into your new place by the time the kids start the new school year? (Is it around March?)
I am very, very happy for you! No more open houses and visits, just getting ready to move ahead on your new plans! That is fantastic. Lots of work, but very exciting, too.
Oh, how wonderful to read this news today! Enjoy!!

Congratulations! Good luck with packing and blessings for a safe move!
WOW, Keesh! Congratulations!!! You know, God really does answer prayer, especially when you follow His calling for your lives. May He continue to bless you in the next few months as you work out all the details of the move and fit life in there!
Have fun packing! At least the kids are off school so they can help? LOL!
Yay Keesh! God sure does do wanders but in his time and not ours. That is one thing I have had to learn about this year! Praying for your safe move and that all will work out for you all. Merry Xmas and love to you all x
Congratulations! Good Luck to you and your family especially over the coming months! It is great to know when good things happen to good people!
Merry Christmas!
HOORAY!!! Congratulations Keesh! You must be so relieved to have this one step completed. I know there’s still a lot of work to be done though!
Wishing you and your family a beautiful Christmas and the best of luck with the rest of your journey!

Congratulations to you and your family. Wow! Moving interstate. Isn’t it amazing how God often answers prayer at the 11th hour and the 59th minute? All the best and I will continue to look forward to your challenges in 2010. Have a blessed Christmas.

I just LOVE stories like this! It shows us exactly who is in control LOL! Great faith builder experiences like that are a treasure and to be remembered in the times when we don’t have the faith we should. Hope the packing goes as smoothly as can be expected and I hope you post a few pictures of your new home so we can all celebrate with you some more
Congratulations Keesh, Rod & kids! Now you can mess the house up with packing and not have to worry about any more inspections! Have a blessed Christmas xx

excellent news! Good luck finding your new place on the other side of the country. Moving house is difficult, I know I’m not keen do do another big move again.
Rod, Keesh and family,
Its taken a while to sell, but all in God’s good timing.
God makes no mistakes, dont we all live with that every day?
Wishing you all the very best, sad it will be for you and all who love you lots to go without everyone dear, but…….remember, its time to move on. Its what your family hoped for and now you have sold, enjoy every day till you go and expect many visitors in the years ahead:) Christmas blessings and all the best for the New Year too. x Jen & Co
Big Congrats Keesh to you Rod and the kids! God works in mysterious ways and this is just an amazing gift he has given you right in time for Christmas! I hope the move isn’t too hectic!
I hope you have a lovely Christmas and a very enjoyable 2010!
Love Dani

Hi Keesh, you are finally on your way over…cool. Cairns is great at the moment, not too hot and not too humid (most of the time) but should be nice and wet for you arrival in Jan.
No more browness and sandy red soil for you just nice green lushness.
It great to hear that your plans for the last couple of years has finally become a reality.

Hi Keesh, just got time to catch up with your blog. That’s fantastic news. It will be hard saying goodbye to your old life, but what an adventure lies ahead. My cousin & his family have been in Cairns for years & they love it. I’m sure the Lord has something wonderful up His sleeve for you there.
All the best with the job ahead,

That is wonderful news Keesh. And what better Christmas present could there be for you all. Hope the next part of the adventure -the packing- goes smoothly and things fall into place nicely for your next home. Are you moving far? I don’t know if you’ve mentioned that and I’ve missed it …….??? Take care!
Awesome news for you all Keesh. Nothing like an adventure! Here’s to a fabulously exciting 2010 for you.
I had tears in my eyes reading your post! On the last day of school!! God sure has a sense of humour!! But most of all it shows His faithfulness and sovereignty - and your faith too in not giving up. I wish you and your family a safe and rest-filled Christmas and a 2010 that’ll blow your socks off!!
Oh wow Keesh! God is certainly sovereign in all things! Praise be to God!
That is absolutely awesome! Thanks for sharing your wonderful news with us! Cant wait to hear how everything works out.
But Keesh, as you know God is with you! He is for you and not against you.
You are such a blessing!
God bless you this coming week!

Hi Keesh! I’m glad I stopped by to hear about your amazing news. (Have been MIA lately … sorry! … but life is a bit like that … busy busy) Isn’t if funny how we are often surprised by God answering our prayers! We shouldn’t be … but somehow He just seems to catch us out! How exciting for you … a new adventure … and a new challenge! I will be praying that you will all soon settle into your new home … that you won’t be too homesick … and that you will all make some lovely new friends. Can’t wait to read all about it. I hope you manage to squeeze Chrissy into all that you need to do … and that it is a really special time. Congrats & best wishes for your new 2010 life! Big hugs, Andrea xxx
WOW!! Keesh, I hadn’t read your blog for a while so was quite shocked when I read it today. Congratulations. I know you have been praying for this for a long time. I wish you and your beautiful family all the best in your move to the other side of the country. I’ll miss getting to know you better but want to thank you for making me feel welcome in our group. Your friendship has been a blessing for me.
May I wish you a Blessed Christmas , a smooth move and lots of love and laughter in the year to come.
Love and blessings always Terese.
