A Place to Call Home




Well, 'tis official, we are homeowners. Everything went very smoothly on Friday and we even managed to set up all of our utilities and the like to be ready when we get back from Africa. The realtor who represented the seller shared with us that she had advised him not to take our offer as we asked the sellers to put a lot of money toward closing, etc. But the man said he had been praying about selling this house, and now a seminary student had made an offer--so he accepted. Amazing how God is always working behind the scenes when we can't see.

I was sharing with a friend today that so much is happening right now, it sort of feels like a dream. The house is ours, but it still feels far away since we aren't moving in until August 2. And even though our bags are packed and Wednesday is so close, I don't think this Africa journey will feel like it is really happening until I'm on the plane!

It's funny how life throws little obstacles in your way... I got a flat tire on Thursday (bye-bye $100) and my cell phone dropped dead (as in, cut off in the middle of a conversation and wouldn't turn back on...) on Saturday (bye-bye another $100). But we're so completely surrounded in joy and excitement that those little hiccups didn't even phase us.

Please keep us and our team in your prayers in the next two weeks! Hopefully we'll be updating from Africa... check out church blog for updates as well at http://napcmissionaries.wordpress.com

Much love!
