The Hains Clan

Hey everybody

As the boxes scattered around the house begin to fill up with stuff, the reality of the move and what we’re about to do has begun to sink in. I guess we were never ones to take the easy road! Oh well!

The chaos around the house and within makes for much stress and frustration, especially having two kids around that are emotional and don’t quite understand the full idea of what is happening. The moving company arrives this Friday morning to take our possessions and store them for a month while I hunt for a house and Anita waits here with the kids. It will be a tough month ahead but the one thing that Anita and I have learnt in the nearly 9 years we’ve been married, is that God has NEVER let us down and has always provided for us even in the times when provision seemed impossible. 

I still falter at times, looking at the waves around me when all I need to do is get out the boat and walk on the water! Water walking is not for the faint-hearted! But God, to us, has been very faithful ever since Anita and I were married and I believe He will continue to be because we trust in Him.

I already have two days next week of work, can you believe it? Brilliant.

We are still not getting a full night’s sleep as Ethan continues to wake anytime from 3am to 5am. I am looking forward to the night we sleep and wake up the next morning and Ethan did not need to cry us awake for some reason! We may very well get there one day!

Even now, we already have such a testimony to the way in which God has provided for us and I want to take this opportunity to give Him all credit. The amount of money we have spent on this move is phenomenal and I still don’t know how we have managed to do the things we have been able to do but I know, with God, all things are possible even when we feel they are not. In my mind, it has been a supernatural move. And I believe it will continue to be so in the coming months as, once again, the Hains clan go up against everything else that seems normal and rational and live in a way that defies what others deem to be the norm. Sounds almost too good to be true.

So, here’s to the next season, cheers…

PS: our internet access will be intermittent over the next month or two as we get settled in our new place, please be patient!
