Update.

I guess I will start at the beginning. At the end of the summer last year Peter and I decided to make a change. We were struggling financially and thought we could save more money by selling our house and moving into an apartment. Rent would be less than our mortgage so after we saved up enough we could follow our dream and move out west. West, where life is slower, cheaper, and the scenery is gorgeous. I wanted to get an RV and travel around, see the country and then find a place to settle down. So first step was to sell our house and we would figure out what was next after that. We put it on the market and had to just wait.

Five months later, about 5 showings later, 2 open houses, and one month til our contract was up and still NO offers. The whole time we were just praying for God to show us what to do. We liked our home and enjoyed our life here but also wanted to do something different. We were just getting a little unsettled. Working for family was good but frustrating at the same time. (Peter worked for my dad at the tree farm.) We were ready for some distance from them.

Just 2 weeks ago Peter got a call from his old boss. He worked for this guy doing roofing and siding for two years when we first got married. It was a great job, great pay, great boss, but we had decided to go to a School of ministry, that’s the only reason why we left. After some thought and prayer Peter accepted the offer and we decided to take our house off the market. He told my dad that week as well and it was received pretty well I guess. It’s always harder with family because I think it’s taken more personally but I think it’ll be good for all of us.

THEN…..that weekend I found out that we are expecting baby #2!!! We are beyond excited not only for our new little one but for finally getting some answers to prayer. During the past five months we have been walking by faith trusting that Gods timing is the perfect timing and that His plan is the perfect plan. So as much as we were ready to leave and move on we also are totally happy and at peace with staying. What is more amazing is that all these things came together in one weeks time. God really does have a sense of humor.

So that’s it I guess. New job, same home, new baby. Thank God for unanswered prayers!
