I’m still a little in shock.  Oh how things can change in a day.  Some family of ours, who live in another state, still own a home here that they’ve been renting out.  Now they have put it up for sale, and are graciously allowing US to rent it for 1/2 price, provided we keep it beautiful and clean to show it for prospective buyers. Yeah, that’s right, HALF PRICE rent, which is less than any apartment we could ever find.  And here’s the miracle…because of that half price rent we can afford to live on the 1/2 time salary that Jeff is on, until we find something else.  Is that not incredible? I mean, it’ll still be tight, but it’s a HOUSE for crying out loud, we can skimp on groceries! 🙂  Plus, this new location is WAY closer to school, so it’ll make commuting to classes easier, and it’s in town, so it won’t be as difficult to live with one car.  In fact, Jeff could even take the bus to school from the house.  Can I get a hallelujah?! 

Anyway, it’s so weird now, realizing that in one week we will live in a different place, after all this time. It’s definitely still a very temporary situation, since the house could sell any day, but we’re so thankful for however many days/weeks/months we get to live there!  God’s taking care of us one step at a time…just like the loving Father that He is.  Better go now, got a lot of packing to do… 🙂

  1. Kari, I am relatively new to your blog (Caila’s Hawaii friend) and read yesterday about why you started blogging. I am SO thankful that God has provided this new place for your family but I really hope this doesn’t mean you’ll forget us and go back to the passion of homemaking! I know God will give you the grace to do both becaus you are such a blessing. Thanks for writing and teaching.

  2. So it looks like God is not only the God of Disappointment–He is the God of Appointment, always appointing the right things in our lives at the right time. I’m so happy for you! I read the title of your post and almost fell out of my chair. Ha! God is so GOOD. Forgive my understatement…
