Home Sweet Home

Monday was a profitable day, as we spoke with the landlord of the house we wanted to rent. We met at noon, and discussed details, then finally signed a contract. We have a house! I was so thrilled. We told Blake Monday night that we found his new house. He was so excited. For the past several months he’s been saying he “lost Blake’s house”. That’s pretty pitiful, and hard to swallow for us as parents. But we loved being able to tell him we found it, but now it has to be “cleaned”, so we can’t go in just yet.

We had to meet with her again on Tuesday to claim our keys to the house and pay her the deposit and two months rent. We also discussed some things we would like to have done to the place and she had no problem. Our laundry appliances will have to go in a separate building called a dependant, and immediately she told one of her guards to get water to that building for us. While we continued walking through we heard her in the back telling her guard to set up our clothes line. She’s already done so much to the house to make it a nice place to live, but she continues. We learned Tuesday night that no one had wanted to rent the place because the roof leaked (not an uncommon problem here). But on Wednesday, we saw the guys on the roof patching it up.

We’re so thankful things have worked out the way they have. God has really had His hand in all of this. We have seen so many answers to prayer already, and we know it’s because so many people are praying with us that God will work all these details out for us. It’s incredible to witness it. Thank you for your prayers.
