A New Year, A New Home!
This new year has started off with a bang. First, a new member was added to the family, an adorable little beagle who has been the perfect addition so far. Secondly, our daughter lost her very first tooth which is a big deal! And now me and Jacob are excited to announce, that with much discussion between Jacob, the elders, and the men of the congregation, the church has decided to invest in a parsonage. This area is growing fast, new homes are being built, and are pretty pricey in this area. We have been struggling being able to find a house that has the space we need, being at the price we need. But we looked at few houses available (they come and go fast) and the most reasonable priced one is one in town, being built brand new in a little subdivision of 40 or so homes. We walked through the model home with our realtor twice (who also attends at Drippin), and one of the elders walked through it as well. And with all things considered, they decided today that they were going to put the ernest money down on the lot to build the house! He said those lots were going fast and there is fixing to be a jump in pricing on the 15th so they decided to go ahead with the good deal now. Here is the lot below:
Jacob and I are so overwhelmed by the willingness and urgency the elders and congregation have had in this process in finding a home for us. We are extremely grateful they have also taken into consideration our likes and dislikes in a home, and are making a few adjustments to our liking. If things go as planned and they start the building process within a couple months, the house should be ready about end of June or so. That's perfect timing to get into a new home before the new school year starts. We are also excited to have more room to host guests and parties at our house because of the convenience. We will want everyone in the church to enjoy our new home as well! We have loved the little home we've been living in for the past year and a half, and we LOVE living out here in the country in the quiet area, next to the Moore's, the Merz' and more of their family members. It's been the perfect transition home as we waited to invest in a new home and we will miss it.
God has been blessing us with a generous and loving church family who takes care of us. I can never thank Him enough for his unwavering love and blessings He has continued to show to my family over the last 6.5 years. At times I know I feel undeserving of all our blessings falling into place in our lives, and at the same time I am humbled. I've always had faith that He was going to take care of us no matter where life took us. And without a doubt I know this is where we are supposed to be. I know the church here is going to be blessed tremendously and grow by Jacob and the many talents that he has. Jacob has done so much for the kingdom and there is so much MORE he is going to do. It makes my heart smile. And I am humbled and honored to be his wife as we embark on this journey together.
Thank you everyone for your continued love and support always, and we covet your prayers on our behalf as we start making this transition.
