Our Great Adventure

I would venture to say that moving is like an adventure. In our case it's like Monster on the Move. Monster..?--That would be our home, and yes we are moving! So far it's been a series of miracles big and small, and some we don't even know about. Every time we move somewhere it's like an obstacle course or a test in faith. Either we don't have a house, or we don't have money, or we don't have a moving truck, actually it's quite a long list. Right now we're in the middle of packing and my room is covered in boxes as we speak, (or more like: as I type).
The Lord supplied a company that is graciously donating the use of one of their trucks to us. The scheduled date for moving is none other than the 22nd of September. Yikes! That's about a week's time, a week to pack all my junk and precious treasures. Oh well, that should be long enough.
Ok, so I have to admit in spite of any worries or fears I have it's been an amazing ride so far. The miracles that we've seen are so cool and it's just the beginning. For example: our new contract starts on the 1st of October, but our current landlord won't let us leave till the end of Oct. unless he gets new tenants. We're praying that the Lord can do another mighty miracle and get new tenants so we can leave. It's the 14th right now so that doesn't leave Him much time to work. But then again, who are we to put God in a box? If it's His will the new tenants could appear at our doorstep just like that!
The new house needs some building and fixing done before it's really ready for us to move in. A few of the boys work on the house and sometimes stay the night. But there's no electricity and there's no water! At first we had to rent a generator to be able to use the power tools but now a sweet friend offered the use of his for as long as we want. The Lord also supplied us with new power tools, the owner of a small hardware store let us buy all the tools we needed for cost price, and they're a good brand too.
All the material we have so far and that we're using to build has been donated to us. Plywood, logs, bricks, tiles, tile adhesive, sand, cement, kitchen cupboards, shelves, etc. It's quite long list of what the Lord has done for us.
I'll try to keep you all posted with news of us and the move. I'm sure that there's plenty more exciting news to come. We might not have Internet for awhile in the transition of houses but I'll be as faithful as I can when we do. We started having prayer meetings every night at 8:30 to pray for everything concerning the move. Please help us out by keeping us in your daily prayers we really need them. Here's a short list:


Prayer Requests

-For our Honda to get fixed. Supply of car parts and mechanics.

-For all the building that is happening for everything to be done correctly, and without any eventualities, for safety and protection

-For a tenant to take over our lease at the end of September

-For the water and electricity situation to be solved smoothly and speedily

-For the packing and closing down of our house
