We will soon be homeless as our house is now under contract!  Praise the Lord!  We won’t own a home after January 17th, but we will be living with Vicki’s parents.  They have been so gracious allowing us to live with them for six months or so.  It was very important for us to sell our home as soon as possible for several reasons.  The first is that we have to sell our house before we can move to Uganda.  We wouldn’t be able to afford our mortgage and upkeep on the house while we are living on raised support.  Renting out the house would be difficult to manage from afar and we couldn’t afford any vacancies.  The second is that we need to cash out the equity on the house to be able to send funds to the family living in our future Ugandan house for household items and a van.  They are moving back to the U.S. in February, so they need the funds in January so they can purchase household items and a vehicle in the U.S.  It was also important for us to sell the house as soon as possible so that we can save the funds that we would pay for mortgage payments, insurance, taxes, electricity, water, gas, cable, upkeep, etc for our startup costs in Uganda.

Once again we see the Lord’s providence on our situation.  Philippians 4:19 says, “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”  Thank you to everyone that was praying for our house to sell!
