Quickness w/ the Peace!
Okay so in the past 3 days God has really confirmed some things about the next year!
Lets just say that I have been feeling that change was going to come. I have had continuous thoughts of moving & getting ready to go. I could not see how that would happen at all, but really prayed through those thoughts~ I was praying we would be able to find something before the snow hit... Late September or Mid October.....
So, I will back up a few months....
Back in April Josh & I have started praying about what to do after he finishes school in the fall. There has been many thoughts & ideas, but we really didn't have any direction. So a few months ago I ran across a lady that I knew who had some rental properties in Cochrane; so I asked if anything was available in the fall & she said no. So we left it that if anything comes up give me a call because we are interested. Well on Sunday we received a phone call from this lady I had talked to a few months ago. As we talked & she shared what God was doing in her and husbands life.... we knew God was working on something.
Well, we went over on Monday night & talked for a while in regards to the home, but also about life. It was an encouraging talk & really made me think about things. As they were thinking about the process of traveling.... God shared with them that they have been "observing life" & not really getting involved, so they are making some major changes to walk with God & live out a dream that has been stirring in their hearts for years~ how exciting!
This is an answered pray because they are renting their home to us for the next 9 months and then at the end of that time we will re-evaluate what God is doing & make further plans. Josh & I are really excited because this is MORE than what we prayed for! My heart's desire was to have room, because the running joke on the Seminary Hill is that we should have a sign out front that reads "The Tait Inn"... so we prayed for room but at a cheap price... Not real easy in Cochrane... where the average 3 bedroom is 1,300 a month!
So on October 17th we are moving into a beautiful home right in the middle of a wooded neighborhood, big fenced yard that backs onto a ravine & running paths, it has 5 bedrooms & a beautiful kitchen/dining room with a fire place, a basement with 3 bedrooms & a living room. The yard is set up for a dog, which we are going to be purchasing very soon!!!
It is everything Josh & I wanted & more! The house could be rented for double what we are paying & it is absolutely amazing to see how God is working this out!
Thank you to those who have been praying for us~ We are excited about what the next year holds as Josh finishes school & starts to work full time, & I will continue to work full time as well. I pray that we would be able to use this home for the glory of God! Please continue to pray as we seek the Lord for direction.
The verse that runs through our thoughts is "a man plans his way but the Lord directs his steps"
May we move forward in faith & great expectation!!!
Thanks to everyone who is & has been praying for us!!
