Moving ahead

Moving?????

We had a Realtor over last night, and are feeling blessed. She gaves us a list price that was higher than what we had in mind, and had many words of advice and encouragement. Together as sellers and a Realtor we are placing our Trust in the Lord! So we go forward, with making some minor improvements, such as fresh coats of paint, carpet cleanings, de-cluttering, and some little wall repairs here and there. In hopes to have our house dressed for success by March, and place that sign in our yard by April 1st.

Where are we going? We don't know. That's the greatest thing. What we do know is we are OPEN.

Openess: attitude of ready accessibility.

Accessibility to the Lords Will in our lives with being involved in Missions. In our minds we have Africa, Tacoma Washington; headquarters of World Vision, and Colorado Springs; headquarters for Compassion Intl. What the Lord has in His mind, we are not exactly sure of right now. But we have Faith in the unknown.

Together as a family we are praying for the Lords Will. Right now for Noah, his top is Africa. For Jacob his top is Washington. For Bob its a toss up between Washington and Colorado. For me it's a mix of our time being in Africa and in the States nearer to our Oregon family.

Please be praying for us. That we would remain open, and faithful. That as a family we will daily grow closer to Our Lord, and to one another. That we can find someone to come alongside and help us get our house ready. (ya...Bob needs much help in this lol)

We are in no hurry to sell. Our goal is to move when Dave Graduates from High School which is in a Year 1/2. With the economy we know it could take that long or even longer to sell, so we place our Trust in the Lord and begin the process.

Thanks for your love, support, and prayers.
