Isaiah 28: 9-10 “Whom will he teach knowledge? And whom will he make to understand the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just drawn from the breasts? For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little.”

Well, we may be moving soon!  We're not 100% that it will happen, but there's a way better chance of it now since the market is so low.  That really works to our advantage.  Most houses are extremely hard to sell right now, but not so with ours.  In these years where so many are being forclosed upon, they are looking for an inexpensive place to live--and you can't really find much lower than ours unless you want to live in a bad neighborhood.  Even making a profit on our home would put it under the normal apartment rent around here, and that's what people are looking for. 

So...project move begins.  I'm really excited about the possibility!  We've never really been in a place financially to get a house with a backyard, which is my dream.  I would love to have a backyard, where Abby and Abram could go out and play more often.  (Right now they have a great place to play, but no way for me to watch them without being out there with them.  So it's only possible to go out once during the day for a little play.)  But they would love to be outside way more often.  I would also like to have a one story house instead of two.  That would be a major plus for me. 

It's kindof made me a nervous wreck lately, though.  I don't like to put things off until the last minute, and there's lots to be done.  But then there's the chance that we won't be moving at all.  Not that the work would be totally in vain, since I would get a decluttered, spotless house out of it...but still.  I guess I just don't like the unknown!  Will we??  Won't we??  God's trying to give me peace about it.  But I'm not doing a very good job at accepting it, I guess.  I don't feel that huge worry over finances like I have in the past.  It would still make things tight for a while, but it wouldn't break our backs financially this time either. 

Please be praying for me lately.  I would truly love to finally be settled!!  I don't think I've ever felt quite settled before.  One move after another after another, always looking forward to another move.  I hate that.  I like our little townhome, I just hate this unsettledness.  I know that this is not the house that God has for our family.  But, on the other hand, I know God is preparing a home for us.  Last year God called me downstairs (on March 10, 2007) after beginning a search for a house.  I was stressed out and desperately lonely for community.  My bible literally fell open to a page in Psalms and my eyes fell upon this verse:

"God makes a home for the lonely; He leads out the prisoners into prosperity, Only the rebellious dwell in a parched land." --Psalm 68: 6

I knew that this was God's word to me.  At that time I believed that it was a word for that time, but then it would have led us into huge financial stress, and it wasn't the right timing.  I know God is preparing a home for our family, somewhere we can settle in and minister through our home.  But is that time now?  Is there a house out on the market for us right now?  or is it still a ways off?  I'm not sure, but I hope for it to be soon.  I want Abby and Abram to have a place to look back to as being there home and to come back to for Thanksgiving and visits with the grandkids.  I believe that this is the plan God has for me.  I have been unsettled far too long, and I believe God's preparing a Settlement for me!
