It was just a week ago that the neighbors contacted us. Would we like to rent the house they are in when they move on to Kenya ten months from now?  

Prayed a whole bunch.  Talked it over several times a day.  Measured every single room.  Walked through the house.  Twice.  Checked out the large yard that wraps around three sides of the house.  Drew a floor plan of the house.  Made paper cutouts of our furniture.  Placed it in all the rooms.  Needed to know if our stuff would fit there.  

Found a perfect spot to build a workshop for Jim.  Got cost estimates on all the materials needed.  Totaled it up and took a long look at it.  Prayed some more.  Talked it over from every angle.  Feeling a great peace about this.  

Planning on taking the next step forward.  Probably tomorrow.  One big, big plus for us is the ground floor apartment, complete with living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.  Seems to be the ideal solution to my aching joints that sometimes cry out in pain with all the stair climbing every single day.  Probably go upstairs and back downstairs around a dozen times per day.  Living on the ground floor would dramatically reduce the stair climbing.  

Still praying.  Still wanting to make sure this move really is God's plan for our lives and our ministry.
