A Home

Today Heather and I bought our first home…

We both could not be happier and excited to have God bless us with the opportunity. However, I cannot help but feel the need to explain. Some have given us puzzled looks asking: “Aren’t you going to the mission field?” We still reply with an emphatic “YES!”. And we feel having this house helps us get there. With school debt we have to be here for the next 2-3 years. By taking the rent and making it an investment in a house, makes sense to us and others we have sought counsel from. The time to buy was now, the market is great, God provided, and we are blessed. We give and dedicate this new home to Him. For this is not our home (not just because the bank owns most of it)… but it as with everything God lends us, it is His…we pray we can use it and make it, for the short time we remain here… a home.
