look straight ahead

Proverbs 4:25 Look straight ahead, & fix your eyes on what lies before you. 26 Mark out a straight path for your feet, then stick to the path & stay safe. 27 Don't get sidetracked, keep you feet from following evil.

Well, we have a contract on the farmhouse near Blairsville.

Romans 11:29 For God's gifts & His call can never be withdrawn.

So, things begin to speed up.

Our realtor has a bunch of things to take care of in the next few weeks. We, on the other hand, have a simple task - complete the loan process ;-)

I have a daunting task - find some sort of job in Blairsville.

Yes, I've applied to be a greeter at WalMart - seriously.

Talked to Beth & Melissa about some nuts & bolts about a satellite Sunday Morning Gathering.

I'm in Blairsville right now with Ben Kerr. He's going on a campus tour of Young Harris College. I took him by the house. He said it was a place for community, really open, really welcoming.

I really hope it will be.

It hit me yesterday - I'm really gonna get to live up here for a while.

Last night, he & I went to WalMart & had conversations w/ 2 people - the greeter (who's 20) & the cashier (undetermined age). The greeter was interested in a 20something ministry. Hmmmmmmmm...

The "next" in Lynn & my life together seems on the cusp of opening up.

Romans 11:33 Oh, what a wonderful God we have! How great are His riches & wisdom & knowledge! How impossible it is to understand His decisions & His methods! 34 For who can know what the Lord is thinking? Who knows enough to be His counselor? 35 And who could ever give Him so much that He would have to pay it back? 36 For everything comes from Him, everything exists by His power & is intended for His glory. To Him be glory evermore. Amen

We're off on His adventure for us! Come go with us!
