I have never been a man of much patience and that definetly shows itself to me now. Kim and I were suppose to close on our House (the one pictured below) last thursday but currently do not hold any keys to it. Friends from the neighborhood have told me that this was the most stressful thing that they have ever done in their lives and i am beginning to see just a piece of that. I think that is way to big of an overstatement but i see this is a big stress hurdle that needs to be overcomed soon. I don't want to bore you w/ all of the details of everything (whoever it is that may be reading this) but we are experiencing a few set backs that need to be overthrown. Kim and I are seeking God in this and as of recently i have been reminded that since i believe that Kim and i are following God on this adventure of house purchasing and relocating into the neighborhood we serve that we need not take ownership and control over everything where we are not letting God be who he is. Brad's sermon was another reminder to me that the best thing that we can do is let God be God. All else is secondary and how love for him should be ever increasing.
Who am I to try to take things into my hands and be frustrated over anything?

It will be here soon. Our awesome house.
Man...I feel ya on this one! My parents and I have been playing the-- make an offer and wait it out game... and it has been discouraging... didn't get two and now we are waiting to hear about two more. But like you I know God is going to put me in the right neighborhood! Just today I met some of my possible future neighbors and sat out front the house for a while and chatted it up...what great people! They told me they look forward to me being part of the family on the street! My heart sank! I have been super stressed about it all too...but you guys stay strong and know the Lord has something up His sleeve! Can’t wait to hear more about your housing adventures tomorrow eve!
You and Kim are in my prayers!
