Long Time, No Blog! A Lot to Update You On

It's been awhile since my last posting and I'm sorry. I've finally gotten a chance to sit down and download some photos. A lot has happened with our family since our last posting so let me update you on the biggest things:


Shane got a great job as the Associate Dean of the Graduate School at Lancaster Bible College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He is working under his former supervisor from Southern Seminary (who he really admires and loves working with). He began the job mid February and has been commuting by plane every other week since then.

We listed our home for sale mid February, but after a month on the market with absolutely zero activity, we have realized that it is not God's plan for us to try and sale at this time. (Due to the market, if we were to sell at this time, we would accrue a great deal of debt just to get out of our house. So, like always, God was watching out for us and prevented us from even getting any possible offers that we may have been desperate enough to take.)

Instead, God has provided a wonderful Christian family to rent our home from us! We are nervous about the prospect of renting our home out as that can always be risky and renting a home is also so very new to us. However, God is in control and we must leave it in His hands.



Shane has found a great home near his work in PA for us to rent. So as it stands now, we are moving up to PA on April 1.

Due to moving into a rental, we really needed to find another home for our dog, Jed. Most of you know Jed. He has been with us since January 2003. God graciously provided a wonderful home for Jed. Some friends of ours had been wanting a dog. God really worked out all of the details and Jed has made a smooth transition over to their family. He has already fallen in love with them it seems and they with him. Thank you, God. We will love and miss you, Jed.


I wanted to fill you in on all that has happened to say . . . "Our God is good! God graciously provides! I praise You, God, that You always see and know all the details, that You always have a plan, that Your plan is always for our good and Your glory, even we we don't see and our faith is failing. Thank You that when we think we know what is better, You ALWAYS know what is best! God, You rock!!!!!!!

So glad you found a good home for Jed.

The last paragraph of this post made me tear up. God is good and His plans for us are always SO much better than what we could have imagined for ourselves.

Love & Hugs to the entire Parker family.
