Twenty Seven Years Ago ...Continued

Another post from March 2013 drafts...
We find a house! Yey! A little far from work, but we love the town and the house has lots of character. Our offer is accepted, we're ready to close...then the owners decide to pull out, not to sell. Another hit below the belt. Within the next week we drive by a house. God says to me, that is the one. I say to God, no way! That's too big! Well...a few weeks later an offer on the house, accepted, and closed! Our new home! Awesome God! Better than the one we lost. Better than we ever asked for or expected! A home we raised our four children in and lived in for 25 + years! Now, still churchless...to be continued...

One of my Testimonies...Twenty Seven Years...Continued


Another post from March of 2013 in the unpublished drafts...(Puts perspective on what we are going through today.)
Homeless, Jobless, Churchless...Savings used up, hope used up, faith used up. A simple call from my father, "Enough is enough! Don't beat a dead horse!". That phone call triggered a breakdown on my part. I stayed in my room the rest of the evening bawling! I remember it well. The next day, a new day. The dawn after the storm. A renewal of my faith. My husband is offered a job, starts right away. Awesome God! The search is on for a new home. We want to move close to the office, but we keep coming up empty. The family we're staying with need their house back and we need to move out, home or no home...Still homeless and churchless...To be continued...

One of my Testimonies...Twenty Seven Years Worth

I love to go back and re-read some of my entries. This one was in my draft file. it was written march of 2013...
Twenty seven years ago, three boys, twin four year olds, and a one year old. Renting, reveiwing our budget to move towards the next step, home ownership. Everything in place but the down payment. The phone rings, a voice on the other end asks if we need a down payment on a home, of course the answers yes. The voice says, God led us to give this downpayment to you. WOW! Awesome God! The next few months are spent looking for homes.   Nothing...God opens a door to move forward, to a new state, new home, new surroundings, new job, new beginnings...two states away. One month later we find ourself homeless, jobless, way out of our confort zone. Our family and friends think we're crazy. We live with family, search for a new job, new church, new home. To be Continued...
