We are MORE than CONQUERORS

Romans 8:28
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,who have been called according to his purpose.


Well...through all of this rain, the buyers of our house backed out. 3 inches of water in a basement will do it every time. At first the feeling is disappointment and discouragement...but God works ALL things together for the good! Jesus knows. We trusted and believed for Supernatural attraction to our house. And we believe that God will bring that! We currently have taken it off the market with the agent and are selling for sale by owner. We know God will bless us and all that will hear this story.
When Jerry told me yesterday that this was happening, my first response was tears...lots of big wet tears, but then we stopped and we prayed and then I felt peace. My heart felt pressed to open the Bible and when I did, this is what I opened to:

Psalm 34:17-19
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. A righteous man may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all.

God knows. He cares. There is NOTHING too big for Him. This is all part of the BIG picture.

We now have a well trusted renter for the house. It is on Craigslist and in the paper.
Please be praying with us...because it is still true... EVERYTHING GOD TOUCHES TURNS TO SOLD...

Good Lord willing and "The Creek Don't Rise"...


Well, well what to say about our first full weekend in Indiana. As many of you I'm sure have experienced the enormous amounts of rain here in the midwest, we were no different. This sure brings new meaning to the phrase "If the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise". The creek definitely rose here in Brown Co. Indiana. In fact I'm pretty sure many creeks rose. At one point 2 of the 3 roads leading to our carriage house were flooded, and many families lost their homes or apartments. We are making plans as we speak to help those in need around us. That is just the beginning of an epic first weekend...This saga will continue but as for right now I must run. God bless, continue praying.

Well...here we are...

After 18 looooooooooooooong hours of moving...I won't give you the details. Jen Handsaker told the story very well in her blog (http://www.handsakerhouse.blogspot.com/). All I have to say is Uhaul broke down we waited for hours. Jen and I went ahead and left and got stuck in tornadoes. Arrived in Nashville at 2 am. Enough said.

Anyhow...the closing date on the house is tentively June 27. They buyers want to move it up sooner...hopefully they can. Today is the day of the assessment. I know it will go well. It did when we bought it and the house is is better condition now than it was then.

And we are living in a carriage house in Nashville. Jerry and Jen told me I cannot call it an apartment. It is about 800 Sq. Feet. It is pretty much like a studio apartment. We also have a huge storage unit for all fo our other junk that is not in the carriage hosue or Jerry's office. I tell you what, we thought we sold most of our stuff in the yard sale - Boy where we wrong! We completely filled a 26 foot Uhaul. We will more than likely live there until August and then move to Bloomington - about 15 minutes from Nashville - and rent an apartment. And for those of you who know me well I am PUMPED about getting a dishwasher!! :)

And for those of you wondering, Buc is doing great!! Considering he got to go to Nanni & the Rev's house for a few days and aggrivate Casey. They only live 3 1/2 hours away now. So we will definately see them more than once every 6 months. In fact, Nanni is coming to see Buc tomorrow!!

Well, here are a few pictures that might interest you. And have a fabulous thursday!! (One more thing, we are changing our cell numbers today so we will text and email you all with the new ones.)
