Happened upon our home

We did find a house. Yay! After 2,800 miles of dashboard time we simply happened upon the house as we were driving to another home viewing. There in the yard as we traveled down County Road GG was a beacon – a sign which read “For Rent.” After stopping in to see what the property was like we were interested.

After calling the real estate agent and having her tell us that she could not show us the house because there was already an application pending and learning also that the owner did not want to allow cats under any circumstances we were a little disheartened. Then, the real estate agent said that she was not going to review the application until Friday (the day we would be driving home) she changed her mind and said that she would take a look at the application and see if there were any red flags which would keep it from going through. She said she would call back in an hour.

We went on at that point to view the other home we were en route to see, and after a “family thumbs down” we went back into town and decided to stop at the park and take a walk (weary bent driving legs). After walking not even a quarter of the way around the park we received a call. It was the real estate agent. The application fell through. She had already called the owner and the owner was OK with our cat since it has been de-clawed and spayed. She told us she could show it to us in one hour. Of course we said “yes!” and we made our way back out to the house. After looking in all the windows (again) and walking around the yard. The agent showed up and we were able to view the inside at that point.

After taking the tour, we decided that it was the house for us and even went to the agents house and filled out the application. The timing could not have been better. We are so very thankful to the Great God for guiding us and leading us through the process and are very much looking forward to serving God’s people up north.

By the way…I have designed a website for serving the brethren in the Minnesota area. It is still a work in process, so excuse the construction mess. If you are interested in viewing it you can see it here.
