We are so excited to let you know that so many things have fallen into place. We have found a great new home for our large dogs. They live in Queens, New York with a very nice woman who is spoiling them more than ever! We have reserved our moving truck, and have started recruiting people to come help us load on Feb. 21. AND, we have also been approved to lease this beautiful model home in a nice gated community in Leland. And best of all? It is only 5 mins away from Crosswinds!!! Pastor Chris is ever so graciously going to look at the home for us tomorrow to make sure that all is in line. But it looks as though, this will be our new home!
You see, we spent weeks trying to find our dogs a new home when we realized they were becoming too much to afford with Nelson being laid off from work. We didn't get any real response, and every lead went to the wind. When we finally accepted God's will for us, he has provided down to the very smallest detail. Within a week of contacting a breed rescue group, we had found a wonderful new home for our beloved puppies. They are adjusting well, and we are feeling really good about their placement.
We also hit a roadblock when searching for a rental in the Leland area. You see, most landlords would really like you to have a job IN North Carolina, so that they know you will have income after you move. Well, we certainly have not had time to come down for any interviews before we move, so the job hunt is going rather slow. However, we decided to put our whole story out there on the table when responding to a couple of house listings. Well, this very nice Christian man who took mercy on us, has decided to allow us to rent this home right in Leland! Lesson learned... when you are doing God's will, he will provide. He can move mountains and open doors in ways that we had never imagined. God is so great!
As the pieces fall into place, and each day passes, our move date is approaching so quickly. We have 24 days left before we actually leave, and only 18 days until our house must be packed to go. I've already given a 4 week notice into my work, and it was accepted with extreme disappointment, but excitement for our family and the adventure that lies ahead. It was amazing to see the response of even the non-believers at my workplace. I hope in some way, I have been able to plant some seeds with these co-workers during my time there. None the less, time is flying and I had better get packing, eh? :) Sending our love and blessings to all!

yay! :) which neighborhood is it in? :)
ReplyDeleteand what kind of dogs!?
God is so good - I'm shocked that the landlord will allow you to have the dogs too! :) how exciting!
Look forward to seeing you SOON! :)
The house is located in Lake Forest Village. We're only able to bring one of our dogs (Lap Dog - Lhasa-poo mix). We had to give away our other two dogs :(. They were standard poodles. BUT...they are in a good loving home. We're very excited !!
