Just a couple of sheep

Austin and I began our adventurous weekend on Thursday night! We drove down to the notorious Blacksburg and enjoyed Mrs. McGill's hospitality. Their home is extremely peaceful and cozy. Needless to say we slept well after staying up well past our bed time.

Early Friday morning Austin and I buckled up and continued our drive to North Carolina. The further south we drove the more beautiful the trees were. Brilliant shades of yellow and orange assaulted my eyes and the sun shone as we carved our way through the mountainous terrain. It was stunning! We arrived in Mooresville, NC around 10am. Juuust enough time to order a coffee before Austin's interview (YES! Interview).

There is a potential possibility that the tree house living Murrays will nestle up in Fayetteville NC this upcoming January. We aren't positive yet, but we are seriously considering this as we seek the Lord for His guidance.

Fayetteville, North Carolina is a town about this big. It's quaint. Slow pace. And different. Austin would have the opportunity to manage projects and people (two things he's stellar in) in an atmosphere more conducive to his personality and our desires. We aren't sure what the Lord is providing but we are open to change! At this time we are taking great comfort in the fact that we, His sheep, hear His voice.

"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me." John 10:27 

So all day Saturday (after leaving Chris and Christine's lovely home in Charlotte--SO good to see their smiling faces) we explored the town of Fayetteville and near-by colleges (potential Graduate programs for me), walked down old main street, soaked up the warm sunshine on our skin, sat in the window of a coffee shop and ate lunch, and talked to locals about the lifestyle of the town in which they live. It was great. I am so thankful we had the opportunity to explore and visit.

So, that's where we are in this journey called life.

We continue to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of the move, but even more so we continue to trust in our Shepherd who calls us by name and leads us into all that is good.
