Updates on the House Hunt

It's been a while since the last post, and A LOT has happened. We were excited about seeing the house in our last post. We were working with our agent to make an offer on the house, but things just didn't work out. We were bummed out to say the least. Long story short, our agent couldn't move forward with us on the house, so we decided to go back and search the market for something else. We found another great house and made an offer, but we were immediately out of the running. The house was so nice and so cheap that it created a bidding war. It went for well over what we could even over. So we went back to searching the market for another house. We looked and looked, but we were still thinking about the house in our last post and another one in the same neighborhood. We decided to give the house one last try. We had to go through the offer process all on our own, since our agent couldn't be involved. It was stressful, but we made an offer and got it accepted. We are now under contract with the house, and things are moving forward smoothly. We are very excited. We're hoping to close on the house the first week of March, and then move in after doing a little painting and repairs. God has definitely been taking care of us. We'll keep trusting in whatever He's doing.














In other parts of life, things at church are going well. We are moved into the new worship facility and already back the 3 services. We are seeing a lot of people come to Fellowship to experience what God is doing. It's really exciting. We converted the old Video Venue to the KidsLIFE Theater. This is where the elementary small groups meet for worship. The kids were very excited to be in the new room.

Dana and I have joined a small group that meets on Sunday nights. We are really enjoying the fellowship and the Bible study. We are working through the book of Galatians the next few weeks. The small group also volunteered to help us move into the new house in March. They are great people, and it's nice to get connected and involved.

That's life as it is right now. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day...better go plan something! I think I gave the best gift ever...I sold my motorcycle! It was sad to let it go, but the profit made it a little easier!
