What a day, the traffic is awful going in and out of Maryland. The house we looked at will not suit. We stopped in a Real Estate office to see if they had any rentals and found several in city and a few houses in the country. One is really nice, it has 2.5 acres but may be a little far, we will find out tonight, it is also in West Virginia which may be no big deal. This is going to be a challenge, i may stay home all the time, the traffic is more than i'm used to. We want to find a small town that's not far for Jerry to go to work. We didn't see not one veil out of all the travels today. Please pray for open doors, we need to be moved to VA by Monday or Jerry will have a 2-3 hour commute to work. We also found that Jers step sister and husband are close to Front Royal VA, she's sweet, we haven't seen her in a few years. Miss you all and hope all is well. With Love, Holley

WOW, Jerry has had 4 job offers in one hour, one is days and pays really well. We need a VA address first, then he needs to call that one back. We will look at a house to rent tomorrow and open a po box there. Please pray for direction on jobs, house and a church. We are very excited. God bless your day!

As i look back over the last 8 months i am reminded that just because our hearts want something doesn't mean it's God's will for us. I wouldn't take back one minute of those months, the pain as well. I have met a beautiful body that has left a print on my heart and i will never forget any of them. I love each one and feel so grateful to them. To know the beauty of a christian life filled with friends where ever one goes. God is so huge and his people are everywhere, can't wait to meet my next church family. Looking ahead at what God has next for my family is exciting and a little scary, but what ever he has for us may he be praised and glorified through our lives.

Today Jerry was hired to haul sand in a tank truck. It is out of Front Royal VA, right where we want to be.It will be nights but he doesn't need to change over his license or hazmat. We do need to get a place in VA before Monday. He is still putting in for other jobs, their is so much work here. I feel so blessed, this condo that we are staying in is such a breath of fresh air, it is so nice. We can open the windows and run around barefoot. We were told not to go 2 miles down one road because their are gangs,and its a real bad place. People here are not friendly, our one neighbor will go inside when we come out,My Mr. social talks to her but she makes a few noises and goes in. I have had to pray about fear, this country girl just feels so uncomfortable in this city. It's amazing how i can stereo type colored people.I have been trying to pray for the ones who look..well.. evil. You drive 2.5 hours and your in VA and the whole attitude of people change, they speak and smile. I am amazed how God has just given me so much peace with this move, can't describe it, my roots go deep and my faith just gets stronger. It will be neat to see what he does next. I told Jerry i would go anywhere with him as long as i had a church there, well i have no church now but i have a Jesus that is with me who will never leave me nor forsake me.Praise his name! I shouldn't depend on people but on him, fully and completely. Please keep the Pinney family in your prayers, The soul of my dear husband as #1. My love, Holley.

We are leaving Maine on Tuesday morning as soon as we get loaded.We are going to NY to stay the night then off Wed. morning to Maryland. We don't want to get to MD at night as we need to meet someone for the key to the house there. I will keep everyone posted.

Sally thank you for keeping us in prayer, we need it. Jerry decided we are going to Maryland because we can stay at his sisters condo and that will help us get on our feet. There is a lot of work there to. We have no idea about a church there but i know God will provide one. We plan to be on our way on Tuesday the 31st. Hoping we can find someone to help unload when we get there, some stuff is just to heavy for us girls. I will try to write and keep everyone updated. Holley

Today my heart is breaking,Jerry put in for a job in PA and if he gets it we are moving there. We will not be coming back to Maine. I absolutely love the people here and the church. Terri also does not want to leave. We have poured our hearts into the church and the people. I hear of so many churches in PA and well to tell you the truth i don't want to be part of them, they will reach out because thats the right thing to do then after a while your just a butt in their benches. Yes i want God's will but i am not seeing what good PA can be. A man from the church here is reaching out to Jerry and has a love for him. Please pray for us, we need it so much. I just want to belong somewhere where i feel the love of a church family.. here i have that, and for my husband to get saved and feel excepted by brothers right where he's at.
