Today we’re headed to Luke’s place (80 miles away) for a little R&R over the weekend. I invited Lars, Klaus, and I think Ron and Glo are going to come. We also have Steve and Nancy from YWAM for tomorrow. Lots of action.
My appointments are getting less and less, so that’s nice. I’m always for less time at the hospital. Yesterday Annso and I met with Kevin, the pastor at Northridge church. Interesting. It’s a Baptist church and everything. We never really shopped for a church but ended up at the right one.
Kevin asked about our story, and we told him the whole thing, mostly the part this year about getting Cancer and moving to Rochester. He was excited to see how God will work in our lives and save my life. I’m excited about that too.
I hope I live through this. I hope we get the house. I have lots of hope. I pray, Lord, that you would turn the hearts of those bankers toward us and give us favor, and that the taxes would be part of the monthly payment, and that it would be easy for us to pay it and save money for the house.
Thank you for the chance and for being closer than ever. If they approve this loan today, I will be shocked, just blown away at your goodness. So many things about the house are lining up in a good way.
Tom (one of three current tenants) is willing to move out Nov.1. We are getting a new roof with the purchase, because of an insurance settlement. So, much of this is out of my control and beyond my scope of reach.
I trust you, Lord, and do what I can. I rely on you. I’m bracing myself for disappointment, but also having a hopeful spirit. You can do the impossible. You can give a house (even a rental house) to a YWAM missionary who doesn’t have much of an income, just because you decide to do it. And if you say it’s so, no one can stop it. Thank you for that.
