| Our new house! |
For those of you who have been following our blog, this last picture may look quite a bit different than the previous picture we showed claiming as our new house. Well, here's the story. We wrote a "condition" on us buying the first house...we wanted to see it first before we actually bought it. We're so glad that condition was there! As it turned out, Jerad was TOO TALL for the house! I know, I know...sounds funny. But, to get to the room that would have been "Gabriel's bedroom", Jerad would have had to practically double over each and every time he went into the basement. We value Jerad's head and feared that if Gabriel was sick one night and Jerad ran downstairs he may end up knocking himself out in the process!
So after seeing that house, we withdrew from our offer. We were pretty bummed. But, the church service on Sunday put things in perspective. We witnessed 4 adults get baptized after giving their testimony about how/when they put their faith and trust in Jesus. It was very moving. 116 people came out to the service.
After a birthday lunch for my dad, we met with our realtor and toured the home that we saw months ago and thought would be perfect but was too far out of our price range. Recently, the sellers lowered the price significantly, and as of yesterday, we have a HOUSE! We praise the Lord!
The house is 5 mintues from church and there is a huge mission field right across the street...a French and English Elementary school! God worked it all out!
GOD IS GOOD! Please stop and thank God for His provision and timing. Thank God for our realtor, Brad & Melissa, and my parents who have all been instrumental in helping us find the perfect home for us.
Settlement is September 20 and move in day is Septemeber 23!
