Thank you all who have been praying for us and the housing details. It's been a long process and we are making progress.
After I sent out the email last week, on Wednesday we did get our loan commitment with one contingency. It needs to be approved by the Rural Housing government office. Then we're pretty much good to go. The closing date is this Friday, April 17. Last week God reassured me in my time in His word that things would be okay. 1 Thess. 5:16-18 says "Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus"
We can easily get anxious about things not going the way we imagined, but it is still God's will for us. I think of Gideon who went into battle with three hundred instead of the thirty thousand he thought he needed and because of it, he knew for sure without a doubt that it was God who won the battle. This Friday when we have the keys to the house we will know that only God could have worked it all out and He deserves the glory. (We just may put a stone of remembrance out in the front yard.)
Thank you for praying for us.
For the sake of the gospel,
-Tim and Tara
