So nice to be close…
Man, moving is never a really pleasant thing to go through. Packing, lifting, cleaning, renting a U-haul truck, and all that good stuff… Yet, moving closer to where you spend the most of your time is sweet! I just moved closer to Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa, and it’s so cool being close. Coming home for lunch, and driving only 5 minutes to church is the best setup in the world.
Ruth and I had been praying about moving closer to church because we’re always there, and living off a toll road, driving 20+ minutes to church, back for dinner, then back for evening service was taking a toll literally and figuratively with gas, time, wear and tear, etc…
So, Ruth had been speaking with one of our receptionists at the church, and had been telling her our desire to move closer to Calvary. The next day, a woman randomly called the church and asked that same receptionist if she knew of anyone at the church who would like to lease her home. Our friend Linda (the receptionist) immediately thought of us and called me immediately. I called the woman leasing her home right after that.We saw her house the next day, and she agreed to lease us her home.
The only catch was that we weren’t really looking to move yet because at the time our lease wasn’t up for another 3 months. The Lord took care of it though. The one stipulation that the woman leasing her home had was that she would be able to stay for another 3 months, and at the end of that time she’d allow us to begin our lease.
This was absolutely incredible! The Lord perfectly worked it out!
We were able to find a home 3 months in advance (Or should I say the Lord found us a home…). Also, we were able to finish our lease without any penalties, and it worked out perfectly with out landlord’s schedule.
It’s so cool how the Lord supplies our needs as we seek Him. He knows how to take care of it!
God bless you guys!
