So, we are in the midst of an adventure... "the adventure of child-like faith." We must trust without knowing, submit without having any kind of control, and know beyond all doubt that our tender, loving Father has the best in mind for us. (_Jeremiah 29:11)
Ahhhh, how easy that is to write...type. But much harder to truly, in heart and action, live out every day. We find ourselves in a particularly interesting dilemma. As of today we have three weeks to find a new residence here in Lake City where the real estate does not drop below the low $100,000's. Even in that range all you will find is a gnarly fixer-upper that will need more than a few benjamins to be dropped on that piece. Sorry =), that was youth talk.
In our minds, this difficult situation just leaves the Lord plenty of room to work. He will prove once again, that He is Sovereign; He is the one who deserves all glory, honor, and praise for the work He is doing here in Lake City. In the end it is most certainly not about us or where we will live or how well our life is going. It is HIM! HIS glory is why we were created in the first place! That is where my prayers drift... to the knowledge that He WILL be glorified in our lives. House or no house, successful ministry or not, He will be glorified. That is where our hope lies.

Your perspective is absolutely correct. We cannot wait to see what/how God provides for you as a roof over your head. Matt.6:25-34.
We love you guys so much!
