We have been going to Jubilee Fellowship Church for five years now - half of the time that it has been in existence . Words ca n't even begin to describe what a blessing JFC has been to us . We had been at our previous church from 1990 to 2003 . Christina was a toddler and I was very pregnant with Elissa when we started there .

A: What may be the reason for their loyalty to their church ?

The middle kids ( ages 8 , 6 , and 5 ) need some encouragement getting their jobs done , too . ( They have a separate chart for jobs that they can better handle . ) They ask if they can watch a movie , and I tell them that the family room must be cleaned first . Grumbling ensues .

I think he said it four or five times throughout the night . I ' m sure it 's no big deal , but it just stood out to me . We were much closer to his place than mine , and before we left it had been raining lightly and he 'd suggested that we just go to his place and watch movies if it got worse . It rained on and off through the night , always very light , but not enough to make us leave .

A: Why would we go to his place ?

Today we relocate to Kia Ora . I ' m hoping things will be more enjoyable once we 're not all crammed in one room -- despite living on a cliff ... And damnit , I just realized why it seemed like I had so much room in my " carry - on " bag . I did n't pack my shoes yet . And I had gotten minimally excited over it , too .

What may happen next ?
