A Record of the Golls’ Journey

It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed. Deuteronomy 31:8
Throughout all their journeys, whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out. But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out till the day that it was taken up. For the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel throughout all their journeys. Exodus 40:36-38

Sept. 2012	Move into the rental house, Greenleaf Ave,ParmaHts. This move blessed us with: wonderful neighbors (with young children), the ability to have Elijah run around outside a place to grow our garden an easier time having guests We weren’t looking to move, but what a blessing that house became during the two years we were there. A search for a home for our garden has led us to a house! Third home!
Sept. 2011	Move into the apartment, North Church Dr., Parma Hts. We enjoyed our one-year stay at the apartment. No grass to mow, no snow to shovel, unlimited heat/air. Why the move? We thought we would stay there until heading back to China. God has a different, and always better plan in store.
