We're Moving Sunday! Tennessee Bound!

[Darcie]

Hey everyone! Just want to ask you all to keep us in your prayers. We leave for Jackson on Sunday. I've been packing all week, and I'm exhausted. Tomorrow we will load up the truck and head out early Sunday morning.

Remember us in your prayers, we need His divine protection. Also I'll be in the mini-van with my 2 kids *ugh*. So mommy needs a little extra prayer so she won't lose her mind. Hubby is not used to driving a truck, so it should be an interesting drive. LOL

So please keep us in your prayers!

[J-Roc]

Have a safe and wonderful trip!!! I'm excited for you guys!!

[StillStanding]

Welcome to the wonderful state of Tennessee! :thumbsup :)

[Darcie]

Welcome to the wonderful state of Tennessee! :thumbsup :)

Thank you! It really is a pretty state. (I have to admit) :)

[Darcie]

Have a safe and wonderful trip!!! I'm excited for you guys!!

Thanks Jroc. In the midst of all this exhaustion and stress we really are very excited.

[Sister Truth Seeker]

Have a very safe journey....God be with you and keep you from harm!:star

[Apprehended]

Well I caught a fever for Jackson hotter than a pepper plant. Going back to Jackson.... or something like that.

Drive safely and watch for the snow. It would be better to stop and rest rather than to drive over icy roads with a loaded truck with little to no experience.

I will be visiting TN the 29th - 5th. Union City, it has been 3 1/2 years and my dad is 82, so really need to see him. Looking forward to it.

How far is Union City from Jackson?

[RevBuddy]

65 miles or so...

You'll both probably raise the per capita average for the number of teeth in your head...


:sorry that was uncalled for...:naughty

Darcie-

I have lived in the Alabama, Tennessee are for years. Theres a group in Jackson you neeed to watch out for.

They call themselves Love and Truth Church. Pastor and wifes name; Eddie and Sherri. I've heard these people....

"...accepts and genuinly cares for all Gods children no matter the race, background, gender or economic status".


"....provides the opportunity for us to assist in planting churches in the area and in Kenya, Africa."

...is " a place of healing, new beginnings, and a place where we have discovered a completely new and exciting relationship with God."

They call them "... places of supernatural power; impacting the world, showing unconditional love, reaching the lost, and bringing all people to a maturity in Jesus Christ through obedience to His Holy Word. "

Kinda wish we had one of their churches in my area!

ROFL!!!!! :naughty

[RandyWayne]

Eastbound and down..... Loaded up and truckin!

[CC1]

Darcie,

I am not going to hold it against you that you appear to have way too many teeth to live in Tennessee. Just don't be all stuck up about it.

On a serious note you are moving to one of the top three states in the USA! Tennessee is right up there with Texas and Alaska as Holy Ground.

[Steve Epley]

Tenneesee is a great place and Jackson is a nice city. There is a great Cajun resturant in the English Inn there it is good.

[Sherri]

Can't wait for you to get here!! We will have lots of guys around to help you move in Monday night. Plus hopefully enough food fixed that you won't have to cook for a few days!

And Bro. Epley is right about Cajun Cookers!!!! Awesome buffet.

[Sherri]

The Wilkerson's are very nice people! We've known them for many years.

Now that sounds like a plan :)

[Hesetmefree238]

Welcome to our Great State! My church is in Lexington, which is a 1/2 hour drive from Jackson. Have you decided on a church yet?

[rgcraig]

So happy for you guys!

Looking forward to meeting you!

Be safe.

[Sherri]

JC is coming on as our Spanish Pastor!! Can't wait!

[Darcie]

Welcome to our Great State! My church is in Lexington, which is a 1/2 hour drive from Jackson. Have you decided on a church yet?

Yes we have! its the reason for our move. Love and Truth Church. Like Sherri said my husband will be working as the Spanish Pastor.
:shockamoo

[philjones]

The Wilkerson's are very nice people! We've known them for many years.

Sherri,

Do you know Minister L. Gary Jones? I believe he lives in Jackson but is not pastoring. If it is the same guy (I am pretty sure there are not two Lemuel Gary Jones in the UPC), I went to TBC with him. Really a nice guy... at least he was back then.:santathumb

[Hoovie]

Darcie, Can we now say AAF has caused folks to move across the country and change jobs etc.? :hanky


Look out world, we (AFF) are force to be delt with - not just a discussion board - YOUR LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!! :cc1

[philjones]

Darcie,

i am praying for traveling mercies (not sure what they are but my dad always insisted we kneel down and do that every time guests left our home)! :D

May God richly bless you in your launching out into new territory.

Well, Jesus was a Charismatic, so I just want to be Christ like.

I know a Gary Jones, but he doesn't pastor here. He attends Lighthouse UPC, I believe. His daughter and her husband attended our church some a while back, but they decided to go to Lighthouse, I think. Nice people!

That is probably one and the same. I do believe he is attending Lighthouse and has for quite some time.:santathumb For some reason Gary never went by Lemuel. :D

This is the body of Christ in action....what a wonderful sight! I honor y'all!

[Sherri]

Well, JC and Darcie's truck broke down somewhere in North Carolina and the people came to fix it and it is NOT fixable. So the company had to get them another moving truck, had movers come to move all the stuff from one truck to another, put them up in a hotel, and they will hopefully leave early tomorrow morning to continue on to Tennessee. Right now they are still pretty far away, but hopefully they will get here sometime early tomorrow evening as originally planned! So, it's been an adventure already and they're not even here yet.

Oh me - this happened to my son and I when I moved him from Knoxville. Besides getting stranded when they closed I40 for ice/snow. We were stuck when the truck broke down on the weekend and had already checked into the hotel when the snow storm came - - thank goodness we were there first because the hotel solded out and people were sleeping on the floor in the lobby.

A couple days later they sent a new truck with movers that moved the stuff from one truck to the other.

Bless their hearts!

I spoke to Darci on the phone about the disappointing day they had been having. We also were disappointed that we would not get to see them as they traveled through but the delay was for a purpose I'm sure God knows all about. We pray that the remainder of their journey will be safe and uneventful. The network of praying friends that we acquire here is one of the more positive benefits of this forum.

[Trouvere]

Sister Darcie let us know how things are going.I am praying for you.

[AmazingGrace]

Sherri.

This same thing happened to us when we were moving to La... so I understand too well. We are praying for them!

[tamor]

So yall are going Charismatic too uh

Thad, you are bad! You like hanging out with us charismatics. If you stayed very long, you would be looking our way!! :jolly

Are you in East Tennessee? Sorry if you've told me before (senior moment!).

[Raven]

Are you in East Tennessee? Sorry if you've told me before (senior moment!).
Yes, the Smoky Mountain area. Transplanted from California 15 years ago.

[SDG]

Spoke to Darcie and JC ... this afternoon and evening. They've arrived safely, were able to get their keys to the apartment and at around 5 pm ... the Love and Truth moving brigade had arrived to give them a hand to unload the truck!!!!

Thank you for praying for their safe arrival!!!!

Thank you Lord for being so good!!!

[Sherri]

I don't think Darcie has access to her computer yet, IF she's even found it. The men got all the stuff unloaded quickly last night and she told me today that they were up early today setting up the apartment. I'm sure they're exhausted! I only saw them for a couple of minutes last night; I ran in and got some hugs! I had to go to a ladies' leadership Christmas party and we partied until after 10:00 pm. At that time, I didn't figure they would appreciate me showing back up on their doorstep!:christmoose

[LadyChocolate]

Ah! Jackson... I've eaten at Los Portales! MmmmMmmm good!

btw, hope all is well with the moving family!

[Sister Alvear]

prayed for their safety glad they arrived. God is good.

[Sherri]

I told JC that there is a whole Spanish speaking congregation at those Los Portales restaurants!! I think there are five of them just in Jackson, plus more in the area.

Seriously! Lots of them. I love going there,as with any mexi restaurant, because I speak spanish. I always catch them off guard and then my husband and I get incredible service from them... lol it's great.

Jackson isn't far from some of my relatives. We go to Jackson every time we visit them!

Back in the day, we went to Los Portales in Union City, Tn, never have been to the ones in Jackson.

When visiting Jackson, we usually stopped by Chili's or Rafferty's.



Glad everyone is safe and sound, and settling in there.:santathumb

[Sherri]

Ok, all you people who come to Jackson need to stop by and say HOWDY!!!!

HMPH!!! I stopped by to say howdy and you and Dear Husband were off in Florida at some luxury resort soaking up the sun and spa!

Ya'll don't feel bad... I traveled several hundred miles to get to Jackson only to be greeted with Sorry but we are going on vacation! :D


J/K... I think!

Now see, that would be fun! I know some people on this forum but I've never "met" anyone from the forum. I'd have to meet someone at a starbucks because I wouldn't want anyone to see what a pig I am when it comes to Mexi food! LOL!!!

Hey, I've been a pig at Starbuck's before. I can be a pig anywhere. It's a gift.

[LadyChocolate]

:tattle:ursofunny:donutsHey, I've been a pig at Starbuck's before. I can be a pig anywhere. It's a gift.

...the funny thing is that, i have really been a pig at starbucks, also... i mean, I have had a triple mocha in one hand and a black tea lemonade in the other... and went back that evening for a 2nd mocha... Yeah, stayed on an espresso high for months...(mostly because that was part of my daily routine!)

Hey everyone! I'm finally on a computer!!!!!!:bliss

Thank you all who prayed and expressed concern. We arrived in Jackson and everyone has been great. Our new church family has welcomed us warmly with open arms. We truly feel blessed.

We arrived in Jackson on Monday, and headed out to NYC Friday. We just got in this afternoon. We are then headed to Orlando, FL for the New Year. We look forward to starting the new year in Jackson and seeing what God has in store.

Well we kinda figured it would be the only chance we would have in a while to go on a family vacation. So we decided to venture on a road trip.

[Sherri]

Hi, Darcie! We just got home from Indiana, so I'm trying to get everything ready for church tomorrow. We had a great time with Scott/Michelle, my sister and her family and my parents. The cousins had such fun together; I hated for it to end so soon!!

Y'all have a safe trip and say HI to Mickey and Minnie for us.
