We got the house!

Praise God! He is so good and faithful. We didn't know what to do about housing. On-post housing is rather small at Fort Hood, so we considered renting off-post. We have been praying about where to live. 

Michael met another chaplain here who is being moved to Germany for three years. He just so happens to have a house near Fort Hood that he needs to rent. Like we always say, there are no coincidences. God is in complete control. The chaplain called the rental company he is working with and basically told him he wanted us to rent it. The company's policy, though, is they won't even start the application process until you've walked through the house in person. Ummmm...we're here and they are halfway across the country. The owner asked them to take pictures of the house and rooms so we could "see" it. We saw the pictures, filled out the application, and got the house. It is almost the same size as the parsonage...it's only missing the sunroom. That's the best way to explain it. We can handle that! Woo hoo!

Until next time, God bless!

What awesome news. God does indeed take care of our needs. May God continue to bless and watch over you, Victoria and Michael as you travel along the path that he has for you.

Yeah!!! I am so happy for you guys. Mark always says "coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous". But, I think in this situation, God's name is written all over it!

That is the truth! "Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous." I've never heard it put that way. I love it!
