Harder than we thought

-
So who would have ever thought in this market our house would sell in 4 days and then we would have such a hard time finding one! I think those 1st time home buyers are beating us to the punch everyday! We tried for another house yesterday (the small one that reminded me of Colorado I mentioned a couple weeks ago) and we didn't get that one either. It was a similar situation with the big one we tried for where a second offer came in with our and the sellers took their offer - we never even had the chance to up our price and counter. We know that God has the right house for us and we are learning to wait on him. But it is hard. We are going through another list of homes this week and giving it another shot. And interest rates continue to rise....We are one month away from closing....and we are starting to pack. Please continue to pray for us as we look for the right home in the right location in Gods perfect timing.

Our 2024 Christmas Update

Merry Christmas from our crew to yours! We are thankful for 2024 and all that it brought to our family. God has been gracious and merciful to us as we hope to glorify Him with our lives and figure out our next season of life. We had more ups than downs this year and are excited to see what unfolds in 2025. John and Deanna celebrated 26 years of marriage this year and were able to celebrate with an anniversary trip through four National Parks in CA and NV. It was an amazing trip and of course urges us to travel more this coming year while we are healthy enough to hike and have more time on our hands in this short season. Other family highlights of 2024 included seeing the Total Eclipse, watching the Chiefs win another Superbowl, and spending time together all six of us at home or on vacations together a few times this year.  John spent the last year continuing to volunteer with Partners Worldwide, his business mentor group, and our church, Bethel Baptist Church. He started a contrac...

The peer pressure of the internet

-
So I have been invited about 5 times to join Facebook this past year and it seems lately most of my adult friends are joining. I have been afraid to join, not because of the crazy psychos out there, but because I know the time I would lose once I joined. I keep going back and forth and am driving John crazy using his account all the time to email friends I haven't talked to for awhile. He keeps telling me to get my own account. He joined last year because his youth Sunday School Class was all on there and it was better for them to discuss and email through Facebook . He is just now using it to re-connect with other people or talk back and forth with KC friends here (he no longer teaches the youth at church). When my friend Sara joined she said her inbox was full of friend requests and how crazy it was to get requests from people she never really talked to back in high school. Is it rude to just decline those people or is the "cool" thing to just have a bunch of friend...
