God's Timing

Last evening we spent time at Shack Too working alongside Kevin and Hallie, our new landlords. We were cleaning, stripping wallpaper from the bathroom walls, and preparing the house for painting. It was a thrilling, albeit tiring evening.

Over the last week, My Love has also been busy following up on the local radio station's Swap Shop, a daily listing of items people are offering for sale. We have been fortunate enough to purchase 2 like-new refrigerators, 1 freezer, plus matching Maytag washer and dryer. We are nearly prepared, as far as appliances are concerned, for our relocation. Only an electric stove is still needed.

The excitement of getting things ready for this move has truly taken hold of both of us. Somehow the timing is right. One year ago, when we arrived here in Iowa, we had neither the desire nor the energy to undertake such a rental location with a yard and all its upkeep. Now it is exciting to be enthused about the possibilities of our little paradise in the country. Truly, God's timing is everything. As one of my friends was accustomed to say: "God is never in a hurry. But He is also never late." We are witness to the truth of that statement. With grateful hearts.
