This week has found me driving back and forth to and fro Charlotte house hunting. After looking at a dozen different properties, I have found one that I really, really love. I honestly thought that it would be a long time before I found something that felt like "home" and had those lists of characteristics that we wanted. Ken and I sat down and compiled a list of things that we wanted in a house and this house fits almost all of them. We didn't want one that was new, it isn't new, it's about 18 years old. It is exactly what we wanted to pay for a home, when does that ever happen? We wanted it to be one we would want to entertain in, it is. It has a large fenced in back yard for the dogs, and it is tucked away across from the Lake, but not Lake priced. It is split levels, with four levels, contemporary. Odd for me, but I fell in love with it. It has windows everywhere, two gas fireplaces, a deck all around the back, with a rec. room downstairs, just waiting for small groups, and teen-agers! Now, I have to show it to Ken. Pray that if it doesn't work out that I will know that God has an even better one for us. 'Cause I can get my heart wrapped up pretty quick.
I also went to visit a Christian School associated with a PCA church in Rock Hill SC. It is only fifteen minutes from this house, probably twenty with traffic. It has 655 students, k-12, and I was very impressed. Does God answer prayer or what?

Never an "or what" with God is there? He always answers prayers, not always with our answers, but His answers. Glad you are able to finally start your search.
Love and prayers,

Lynn, I am so excited for you!! Glad this house feels like home and I am thinking will be a great transition! Praying for you guys!!
I'm glad you are finally able to move forward and find this new home. It's going to be hard seeing someone move into 'your' house across the street. But, God will even answer prayers in THAT, too, I suppose. Love you and can't wait to see it. B.
The only thing that matters... what is the guest bedroom like?
We will be praying.
