Joshua and I are back on the house hunt. We finally decided that the house we found wasn't worth the struggle. When we found out at the beginning of May about the title issue and potential probate proceedings, we wondered whether we would even get the house in the end. Since it appeared that we would, Joshua and I decided to wait. However, in the past couple of weeks, we haven't been able to agree with the sellers over repairs and such, and after we decided to extend the escrow period because of the issue with the title (the sellers' issue), they decided to get pushy. So, after trying everything to resolve the disagreement without success, we withdrew from the contract. Now, the only issue remaining is to convince the sellers to instruct the title company to release our deposit, which is rightfully ours. We thought we found the house, and instead it became a headache. However, the one thing I know for certain is the Lord is still in control, and His plan will be carried out.
It has been a hard three months. We have had several struggles with Joshua's middle school, he has been looking for a job, and we've been searching for a home. Now, in the last two weeks, we've had a huge issue with his school, we're trying to get our deposit back, and we're back on the house search. Through it all, the Lord has been faithful to remind us of His promises, and we are so thankful for our church family. It would be easy for us to wonder if we made the right decision moving to California. We both had fine jobs, a home, a church family, and friends. However, we firmly believe the Lord brought us to this area, even with all of the difficulties, because He wanted us to be at River City Grace Community Church. We have been blessed with the messages, and recently, they have been dealing even more with the sovereignty of God and His timing and purposes. I know the Lord has a reason for what we are going through, and hopefully in the end, we will be able to look back and see how He refined us and deepened our walk with Him. By the way, Janice, you should get the sermon tapes from May 7 and May 28.

Ya had to go and broadcast to a waiting world that I missed church those Sunday's, eh? ;-) Yeah, yeah, yeah...I'll pick up those tapes the 18th. I'm in Carmel this weekend. It's not even going to get to 70 degrees so I'm in heaven. See you later, dudes.
Hey, I tried to post this last week but Blogger was bloggered.
About those sermon tapes. . . the sound quality hasn't been so great and we're working on that. I can get you an mp3 version of those sermons that would sound better if you want. Just ask!
I'm sure you're in everyone's prayers, and you're definitely in mine.
