Sorry for the delay between postings, but this has been a hectic couple of weeks! First and foremost, we have a place to live! God does know what He's doing...even when we have our doubts. After 3 trips down to KC to find a house, God lead us to a Christian realtor who showed us a brand new home (built by her husband) that might be available for rent. Two doors down from that house, we noticed a 'For Sale By Owner' sign in front of a different house. That turned out to be the house God had for us. Plenty of room, within ten miles of I-HOP and...we can rent it!
We moved out of our Willmar home (still not sold...take that as a big prayer request if you would) last Wednesday (the 16th) and moved in here on Friday the 18th. Now in the process of getting used to a new definition of 'normal' - finding the cereal bowls (something I couldn't do yesterday), adjusting our grocery shopping list to fit a new grocery store, and meeting the neighbors. Sorry to say we won't win the 'Most Kids in the Neighborhood' contest - there are two families on our block with 8 kids, including one right across the street. Our kids have been praying for new friends and God answered in a big way.
Still in the process of getting a new e-mail address and mail for that matter - post office sez we won't be getting mail delivered until next Friday - if we want it, we'll have to go get it. We'd love to hear from you - send those messages to freshfire@tds.net. We're keeping that active for the time being...
A huge THANK YOU to all our friends who helped with moving, cleaning, and just being...friends. We love you!
Prayer requests:
- our home in Willmar to sell (had a showing yesterday!)
- the kids to get settled and meet friends in the neighborhood and at church
- rest for all of us!
Bless you!
John
