The last few weeks of 2024 have been some of the busiest we’ve experienced as a family. Between creating Christmas traditions with our children before preparing to head to Tennessee for Christmas and celebrating Dad’s 60th Birthday with the whole Bates family, we were down to the wire on finalizing the details for our next home. While several doors were closing, we prayed that God would guide us where He wanted us to be, that it would be clear, and it would happen before the end of the year.

He answered our prayers in a unique way. In this video, we’ll share the journey and also give you a glimpse of where we will call home in this next chapter of our lives. While this new home is a bit different than we’re used to, God took care of the details, and it has been such a powerful reminder for us that often, what WE desire and hope for may not be what God desires for us.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8-9)


We are so fortunate and blessed to have found a wonderful new home, nestled within a community we love, with optimism and excitement for what 2025 and beyond will look like!

Happy New Year and may God Bless you and yours!

Chad + Erin
