Just Dreaming...

The hope of a new home...one acre, 10 minutes from our church, affordable because it is a manufactured home, 100% fenced to keep littles safe, an acre tucked away behind another acre with a long driveway, room for the children to play, learn and run, a shed the size of a one car garage, a large work shop complete with wood stove to be a converted game room with pool/ping pong table, black top for bike rides and basketball games, a wheel chair ramp turned tricycle heaven:), a large, landscaped yard with several trees, perfect spot for a volleyball court with surrounding trees to keep the ball in our yard, a mini farm with red barn, chicken coop, fencing and pasture, a large deer-fenced garden, wood already gathered and loaded, riding lawn mowers included, a large open floor plan complete with wood stove all on a slice of Missouri, with a taste of Colorado! The only thing missing is all of you for our neighbors! These are the hopes and dreams of the home that we are in escrow with! Like anything, the list includes only the hopes. I know all to well that there will also be spiders to avoid, chores left undone, rooms for tantrum toddlers, weeds growing in the garden and skinned knees on the blacktop. But we are eager to settle in and make a home here where the Lord is working in our life. With a country road and farm lifestyle similar to our life in Missouri and the evergreen trees similar to Colorado, we are reminded of the dear memories and friends that remain in our constant thoughts and prayers from years gone by! Yet, we walk forward with hope and confirmation of our ministry and life here in Oregon. The Lord has already done some miraculous things to confirm this home for our family like selling our travel trailer that we purchased earlier this summer for part of our down payment. We remain in prayer for God to continue to open or close this opportunity during this escrow process. We would love your prayers also.
