Along with G0d teaching us that we are NOT normal (see previous posts) we have also been learning to ask for our daily provisions - and G0d is faithful.
Some of you know that we were struggling with whether or not to buy a house, in time G0d shut those doors and made it clear to us that now is not the time. We then started looking at rental houses and still could not find anything we could afford. This was coupled with trying to pay our way to S. Asia from our savings and the few precious gifts we've received towards the journey. Our hearts, minds, and budget were all fighting one another as we tried to balance wisdom, desire, and faith. We've come to realize through the past months that it in part was that "balance" that was the problem. Once we prayed, put complete faith in G0d and let go of our earthly wisdom and fleshly desires HE moved.
We have found a rental house and should find out this week if they want us to rent from them or not, this house is exactly where we wanted to live, exactly "us sized" and we will actually be saving money by moving there!
He has also provided a place to stay while we are abroad. Instead of the hotels we usually stay in, we will be staying in a guest house our native pastor found for us. We aren't quite sure what this really means but we do know that it is G0d's provision for us and so we delight in it and praise Him for it! The guest house will help us with the financial strain of the trip and right now it's looking like our trip will cost 1/2 as much as usual :) We may come out of this paying $3500 total vs the $3250/person it usually costs!! PTL!
We can't wait to share the rest of this journey with you all, continue to lift up those who we would come into contact with, our travel arrangements, and our spir!tual safety and health. Also ask of our L0rd an added measure of grace for us and passion like we have never seen so that we would ready ourselves for the journey and be in the W0rd more than ever before.
Thank you for partnership, it is so sweet to us. Please share this with family and friends and use our story to proclaim the goodness of our S@viour and K!ng!
Love you all!
-Sarah
