Today the Browns move to Orlando. There have been many tears shed over this major move, but we know the Lord has led them to Florida. Why? We're not sure but His ways are not our ways. Paul loves his job and it sounds like his students love him. We got to read some of the student evaluations when he was here a few weeks ago, and they said things like "he's an awesome teacher" "more teachers should be like Paul Brown!"
Three days from now they will arrive at their new home. Grandpa and Grandma Wall are driving with Stephanie, the kids, and Kate (their two year-old mastiff who's not great in the car).
As sad as it is to see them leave, it's exciting to anticipate what God has in store for them in Florida. Christy and I prayed for them before they left this morning. We are confident He has friends waiting to meet PJ and Brookelyn, teachers to help the kids in their problem areas and encourage them in their favorite subjects, a job all lined up for Steph, and best of all a family back together again.
PJ has had the most difficult time with this move. His age makes it difficult, the child development books say a six year-old likes everything in its place. PJ's world has not only been changed, it's been turned up-side-down! I sat him on my lap and said that this is not goodbye because we will see you again. Russell's parents have time-share in Orlando and we plan to use it to come visit them. I also told him my Mom did not say goodbye to Stephanie because Mom and Dad plan to come to Florida to visit them.
Their adventure begins today...
