We have a lot to catch everyone up on but the most exciting is that we are finally moving closer to the YWAM base! As many of you know we have been thinking of selling our house and trying to buy closer to the base. But over the last year as we have tried to sell our house and looked at options to buy we continually hit road blocks. At the beginning of last week Douglas and I took some time to ask the Lord what he wanted for us and we both felt a confirmation that we should not continue to try and sell at this point but rent out our house and rent another close to the base. Last Friday we went to drive by a house I found on-line and ended up looking at the house and deciding to rent it. We signed the contract and got the keys two days ago. We are so excited and now are trusting the Lord to bring the perfect people to rent our house. We would like to rent to Christians and have a family from our church that have shown interest. The house we rented is super close to the base, less than a mile. We can actually walk if we want to. Below are a few pictures of the new place. It is not any bigger than our house now but it does have more bathrooms. yea!
Welcome!
Living room, small but tons of light.
Our Kitchen? we might need to add a few cupboards or something but we'll make it work.
Laundry room
Look a bathroom in our bedroom. yea!
We are so very excited but we could really use your prayers as we pack and get ready to move. Also for a renter for our house as we have already had to pay our first months rent and deposit. We are hoping to rent our house for just a $100 less per month than what we are going to have to pay. When we first started looking on line for rentals it was looking like we were going to have to pay about $300 to $400 more per month but God helped us find this place for much less. Praise be to Him!
We will keep you up dated and write soon about all the changes taking place at the base. Also for those of you who I have on Facebook I added pictures of my trip in Central America if you want to check them out.
Blessings,
Karen, Douglas and the boys
