Better.

At 11:00 a.m. this Wednesday morning, the 7th day of September, we are putting an offer on the 2nd street house. Kendal is chill, and I am both excited and scared. This is so different from what we thought we wanted. Yet, we feel content at the idea of it all, the change of ministry, the change of a different part of town, the change of lifestyle.

We feel confident that the Lord is leading us into this home.

Monday, as we were driving home from our counseling time in Portland, we were talking about the house and the words, "For the Better" came to my mind. I don't know if it was because somehow our new youth group logo was somehow seeping through (which I had only heard a couple times a few weeks ago), or if it is part of a season we are going to be stepping into...I hope so.

Kendal talked to our lender yesterday and said that the loan we wanted to pursue wouldn't make sense for us, but she had something better, better, just as the Lord would want for us, yes, something better.

I know when we found our Kari Place home, it was more than what I thought I could ever have, God knew it was for our "better."

I have trusted all along that He would give us a home that suited us, I also had a feeling that He would give me more than I thought I could imagine, just like Kari Place, and here it is...something better.

Please, once again, I ask you to pray, pray that the financial stuff would work out for our "better."

Please pray for future inspections, that they would come out in a more positive way than we anticipate.

That this transition and possible upgrading would go smoothly.

Please pray that God's love, provision and sovereignty would be seen throughout this process by those that doubt. That they too would recognize something, someone, bigger and BETTER is at work.

But mostly, please Thank Jesus for this.
