Day of Blessings (12-4-15)

About 5 1/2 years ago, God called our family to a new place. He asked us to follow Him in obedience and move away from our family and friends. While He did not ask us to move to another country or to move to a place where life would be drastically different culturally, He did ask us to make a difficult move. And we obeyed.

After moving it took an additional two years for our home to sell, thus creating a new dynamic for our family: long term renting. Over the past five years we have lived in three different rental houses. We have never really settled into a home because we knew that even if it were for a few years, it was temporary.

Well, God has provided and allowed us the privilege of buying a home. Tomorrow we close on the house and we anticipate the freedom to make it fully ours. Our prayer is that God will allow this structure to be a place of safety and blessing to our immediate family but to many others as well. We want to give this house back to Him so that He might be brought glory.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. -Joshua 24:15
Would you please join us in prayer tomorrow? We ask that you please set aside some time to make tomorrow (12-4-15) a day of blessings for our new house. While we do pray that the closing will go smoothly; we would ask that you pray that as we establish more permanent roots in our community, that God will be made known in and through our family. Pray that we have opportunities (and act on them) to talk about our amazing God. Pray that our home is one that offers safety and hope. Pray for whatever God lays on your heart...

And thank you!!
