And each heart is whispering, "Home. Home at last."

Well I think I've posted every possible picture we have of the house so you'll just have to content yourselves with the happy faces of the family who will soon be moving into our new home! Yes! The owner said yes to our offer! Oh what to tell?! So many details have gone into this moment. I'll tell the longer version on the house blog if you want to click over there.

But I just have to tell you one story! Once again the owner promised to call and then cancelled and changed and then promised for the next day at 10am. By 1pm we wondered should we send a text message? But after prayer we really felt that we should not try to get ahead of the Lord. He's the one leading the charge. I went on making grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch and not 10 minutes later the phone rang. It was the owner saying he would accept our offer! We cheered and danced and took the kids bowling to celebrate!

Thank you for your prayers along the way! I hardly know what to write to describe what we feel. There's more work in front of us but what joy we have in being led by Him! I keep thinking how much the feeding of the 5,000 passage has lept out at me this past year. Tonight I'm remembering that it says, "Jesus already had in mind what he was going to do."

Woohoo!! It's always exciting to see God work in ways both large and small. I'll be praying that the details will iron out and that you can move forward quickly. Have fun with the rest of the process. Melanie B.

Praising and thanking the Lord with you!! Read your longer story on the other blog and loved it. Can't wait to hear more details...like, what's next?? How long before you take possession? What will you do to it first? Any idea when you want to be in by? These are questions that inquiring minds want to know! :)
