A House!

Things are really coming together for our impending move.  I just keep being blown away by how God just seems to be leading us at this point in our life.  First, we were patient and turned down other job offers in faith that the offer we really hoped for would, indeed, come.  It was tough to let good jobs go by, not knowing if we even had a chance at the one that our hearts felt called to.  But time went on, we interviewed, candidated, and were asked to come.  And our hearts are rejoicing in that fact that we will be calling Philadelphia MB home.

The next step was finding a place to live.  Having moved boxes into 4 different "homes" in the past two years, we were really dreading the thought of renting a place in our new hometown, only to pack up and move again before too long.  We really longed to buy a place where we could put down roots and make ourselves truly at home right away.  At first we didn't think it would be possible to buy a house straight out of seminary, but as time crept closer to our ideal move date, we were realizing more and more that it could be possible.  I can only call it God's provision that we have been able to make an offer on a house.  It shouldn't have been possible.  Yet there was the perfect amount, sitting in our bank account, ready for a down payment.  God is good!

So, without further ado, our house:

Isn't it kinda homely homey?
