Once again we move on to a new phase of life<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Story<\/strong><\/p>\n

We always knew that we would have to move at some point. \u00a0When we moved here six months ago, we picked our house in one day because we had only 2 weeks to move before the family who was moving into our old home arrived. \u00a0We never would have imagined back then that we would end up staying out here, but it now looks like that is a good\u00a0possibility. \u00a0Our house is fine, but the landlord has been a bit difficult. \u00a0It took months to get our roof repaired which was supposed to be done before we moved in. \u00a0He has ignored anytime we needed things done and then last month showed up to tell us he was raising the rent. \u00a0Although we were pretty frustrated with this at first, we soon came to realize that perhaps this was God gently pushing us to start moving.<\/p>\n

So we began the house hunt. I will be honest during the house hunt I\u00a0experienced\u00a0a little bit of an internal battle. \u00a0There are really nice houses closer into town (one even had a bath tub), but most of the people from our church live outside of town. \u00a0Finally we decided that our number one priority was to be in the neighborhood that was best for our ministry and began praying that God would provide us a house in this area. \u00a0\u00a0Hunting for a house requires a lot of walking, asking and negotiating.\u00a0Our schedule was pretty full and so I also was praying for God to drop something in our lap. \u00a0Last week on the walk home from a prayer meeting, Cecil pointed out that right behind their house there were a few vacant places. \u00a0A few days later we stopped by to look at some of them. \u00a0The end result is that we had two great housing options to pick from. \u00a0Yesterday Joel finished up the negotiations and so things are in motion. \u00a0YAY!!!! \u00a0The house is not complete yet, but hopefully will be done around the 20th so we can move in by the end of the month.<\/p>\n

We are so excited because….<\/p>\n
