This journey for us has had a lot of little things that show us that it’s been more than just our idea. I don’t think that we could have successfully built the house and moved into it, especially before the end of the year, if it has been just us going it alone, and if it was just our idea. We’ve had a lot of support from friends, family, and community that we could not have made it this far without, and the entire idea has been something that we can see God leading us along in little ways.
Which means when something comes up we need to look into it and see if it is something that God is doing. This is what leads me to ask this question:
Is there someone that God has been inviting to be part of this story with us? We built this house here so that we could live next door to the small houses we are going to build to rent out to aged out youth. That is a mission that I intend to give the next 20 years of my life to.
A couple weeks ago, the house across the street went up for sale. The house is directly across the street from where we are building those small houses. This is a photo taken from my front porch.
It’s a 3 bed, 1 bath house. It’s not large, but I’ve looked at it and I have ideas on how it could be made a little larger (because of course I do). And it’s a good sized lot, actually a little bigger than our old lot in Grand Haven.
So the question is – have you been reading our story and thinking, “I wish I could do that too”?
Has God been nudging you to relocate and be part of something like this?
Let’s talk.
