One building block at a time

We are very aware that this process with the house is something God is using in our lives. He continues to place one block on top of another to to create a structure that we see has less and less to do with the house itself and more and more to do with building our faith in Him. So much goes into the place and timing of each piece. Here are a couple of them. We thought we'd try to buy in the fall... The owner couldn't get his paperwork together and now is thinking of selling in the spring... Our rent on our current home has gone up nearly $500 dollars a month... The world's economy is under duress... A feeling of discouragement and wondering what our next steps should be... And then the US dollar is presently bouncing back and becoming stronger. The wait means that we've just "saved" $100,000 on the house price! We are confident the Lord is moving, we're just praying we'll follow Him well.
