For Sale


This is our ad in the paper. We are going to run it for 28 days and let God work His Wisdom and Power. I'm sure His Love for us would instantly provide a buyer to relieve the so- called "burden" of a HEAVY mortgage.
*
But His Love Wisdom and Power always work together in everything that is every done. Just like everything is "for, through, and to" Jesus.
Romans 11:36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.
*
So with God's ultimate wisdom involved in the deal, we're patiently waiting in peace for what is to come. The tentative plan is to run this add for 28 days, then just run it on Sundays, 'maybe'; adds are very expensive. In May we will run a rent ad for a while and when school is over move to Raleigh or Moultrie to live with our parents if I still do not have an Engineering Job. We'll make payments on the house as long as we can, but the bottom line is that we have given it to God. So it's His.
*
What a wonderful feeling to be able to go to the creator of all things and give Him your house/burden. We are His kids and we will be in the situation He has planned for us.
*
I have a very "clear" peace about moving from here. Strange word to describe peace, but with a limited vocab, it fits. I love this place like no other for some reason. It's not paradise. It doesn't have great beaches, surfable waves, plenty of bait fish close to land, and the water isn't as clear as you would expect. But I love every inch. Even the dirty rocky parking lot of the Winn-Dixie, the only G-store. Not to forget we live in my dream house, sail boat, and motor boat. All 3 fit me to a T (whatever that means).
*
It is simply time to leave, just like 2 years ago we felt like God funneled us down here to live on Big Pine. The amount of growing both of us have gone through is staggering and painful to think about. Scary to think about needing to go through training like this for the future plans God has for us.
*
I'm looking forward to living close to CO's family. Her Stepfather died last Sunday from a bad liver. I think her mom will enjoy being around our BOY :). It will definitely help fill the void in her life from losing Tim.
*
I hate it that my boy can't grow up down here in the water. Today I'm going to sail out to Looe key and do some diving. It would be awesome to do that with him, but God has other awesome things for us to do together. The world is a lot bigger than big pine.
*
CO wants more pictures on this thing and so do I. so I'm going try to get some slide show program loaded up. She has a friend that is a blog MASTER. So I got to get on the ball.
*
Remember that trying to understand God's Love, Wisdom, and Power in your situation will show you the kingdom of God where you are in life. I believe it is the absolute truth in every situation. I believe the realm of absolute truth is the kingdom of God.

John 1:17 - For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
John 14:6 - Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 18:37 - Then Pilate said to him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world - to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice."
John 16:13 -When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
John 8:32 - and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
*
We are free from all the burdens that this fallen world creates. The world wants to pull us under the waves of the storm and wants us to surrender to the curse. But we are FREE!
