It's official... Retreat is relocating.
The farm has sold to another buyer, despite our best efforts.
We're in the process of moving off the farm on Arrowhead Road,
We're in the process of moving off the farm on Arrowhead Road,
and will be moving into a new location on Camano Island as soon as we can.
This has been a really long, hard road to travel.
Denial, heartbreak, confusion, stress, depression and fear
have been some of the stages we've experienced.
Finally, we were exhausted and broken enough
for God to whisper in our ears,
and tell us to let go.
Let go of our dream, our plan, our progress.
Just let go.
And let HIM handle things.
So, still struggling, we finally did.
And lost what we thought we wanted the most.
And lost what we thought we wanted the most.
He's working on our behalf, and we are just taking things
one day at a time until He reveals the next thing to us.
But we have Hope, and that makes a huge difference.
Thank you so much for all your prayers & thoughts -
you will never know how you saved us
by letting us know that you cared.

Love to you both and may the next month have peace in the midst of pain.

I'm so sorry that you've had to travel down this difficult road but so proud of your obedience to God's whisper. Praying that you be filled with God's peace as you continue down this new road.
Thank you both so much for these 'cyber hugs'... they are so appreciated.
And for anyone who was wondering about the last part of the post: the young woman who bought the property told her agent that she'd been to our shows and saw it as a perfect opportunity for her. She's planning to continue to hold them here. {How very original} Not using my name or reputation, she's not.....
Awww you guys. Remembering you both.
you are in His grip.

So sorry to hear that your plans and hopes did not turn the way you wanted them to. BUT..you obviously have your faith in tact and will come out well as you walk through this. God bless you and you begin the next journey and see what plans God has for you. I so admire and am inspired by your faith and your postiveness.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
