And it begins!

When Gayle and I started thinking about moving, I found a place on craigslist that we thought we'd look into.
Turns out that everything about it was perfect. Everything that we had thought about wanting or needing, was there. A little church two doors away, two schools on the corner, neighbors above and below that were very welcoming with kids who loved us. Landlords who seemed very present.
A month later, when they couldn't get anyone to rent for June 1, they told us it could be ours July 1.
I was humbled at God's obvious provision. It was the only one that we looked at! I have been very intentional to be praying for HIS will to be done and HIS kingdom come, and to try to not ask for many of the things that MY human mind wanted. I feel that this was just another way that God was showing His GREAT love to us, and also showing us that maybe our will had been aligned with HIS will.
What a confirmation. Tomorrow, Friday, Tuesday and finally me on Sunday - all four of us slowly move in.
Here are some pics. We look forward to welcoming you to our new place!

I Am

Recently, our church staff saw this together at a local theater. I was touched and moved to watch someone from the secular world bring about such truth. I encourage all of you to see it!
