Prayer Time

Would you join me in my prayer time this morning?

“Father, is it possible to be exhausted and grateful at the same time? I have so much for which to be grateful. But I’m bushed trying to find where you want us to live. OH, we have the 10 acres right beside our daughter’s 45 that is just gorgeous. But we need a building.

“Plans were to build what I thought was my dream home – advertised cost to build: $!69000 (stick built). Bids came in from $375 to 500,000. That was hard to give up. So we checked other builders and other options. Building in Northern Kentucky seemed out of reach.Then we saw what we thought was a modular home that we fell in love with. 2500 square feet. Turned down at the last minute by the county. Not enough road frontage for a mobile home.Makes no sense. 10 acres and can’t put the building on it we want.

“Options, Father, seem to be apply for a variance, which would take 6 to 8 weeks and who knows if it will be accepted. Or, start all over and keep looking. What are we missing? Or is this just time for buildng forbearance, patience? Learning to trust You, Abba Papa, even in exhaustion?
Guide our steps today."

Thanks for praying with us.

Pop,

Praying for you from Bulgaria. We've seen some great floor plans here if you are interested in building with various materials such as cinder block, mud, sticks and don't mind open air ventilation.

Love you and know that God has your perfect floorplan!!

See you soon,

Whatever
