As we are preparing to move, I keep getting the sense that it has to happen fast because things are coming soon that are going to have serious effects on our nation and if we aren't in a place of preparedness then we face some severe problems. I want to keep asking God, 'please wait for us! Please wait for us to get down there and settled before you send the storms! Please wait!'
I say I want to keep asking because I know that this whole move and the timing was already in God's plan and he's moving us right now in this season for a reason. I think we are going to be in a position to help other people through this time by the resources we will be given, such as a well with good drinking water (lots of it). Food, I think besides the provisions we will store up we will have some source of food on whatever land we buy. And shelter. Just a safe place to come, rest, worship and fellowship. A house that is open 24-7-365. I see us in a boarding house sort of situation, although I have no idea if that is literal of figurative.
That's why God's going to absolutely have his hand in this. Who else but God could put all these things, desires and needs together into one piece of property and offer it to us at a price that won't cause us to have to go in debt over. Only God. Only God.
But I trust him. I believe that even now there is a house and land being prepared for us. I believe right now somewhere there are people praying for us, maybe without praying for us specifically, but for a family to come. For what reasons I don't know, but God is going ahead of us to prepare the way and he will also be our rear guard on our way out, protecting us and comforting us when we leave everything we know and love to go to a foreign land that is WAY too hot.
This is such a new adventure for us. And such a step out in faith. No job, no house, not even a city lined up. The only thing we know is God, and he is greater than any of that. Trusting him.
