It's All About Faith

"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see."  Hebrews 11:1

We bought our plane tickets to England this week, so we have our official departure date:  September 19th!  It's exciting and surreal, all at the same time!

Knowing the date is great, but it also puts the pressure on for all that we have to do before we go.  To help Emily get a sense of when we are leaving, we have calendars on the refridgerator so that we can count down the days.  So we have a visual of just how little time we have left!

It's been a full week in that we also got an offer on our house this week as well as found out that we are able to rent, if necessary (our HOA has a cap on rentals)!  That is a real answer to prayer and gives us options.  We are in negotiations with the potential buyer, but also looking toward rental possibilities in case it doesn't work out.  All of this is requiring major faith on our part as there does not seem to be a decisive way that we should proceed.  Plus, we are really having to trust the Lord with our finances. 

It's hard to see the way forward many days and understand how all of this is going to work out, so we are just trying to trust the Lord one step at a time and trust Him to bring it all together!  It's really stretching our faith, but we know that the Lord is in the middle of it and that He has not left us alone.

I asked Johnny this week how many more steps of faith we are going to have to take in this process!  I am sure there are many more to come, but hopefully, we will get more confident in stepping out and seeing how the Lord will provide!
