So I haven't written for a few days. Let me catch ya'll up on what's been happening with the moving to North Austin idea...
On Thursday, we reached a compromise with the owner of the duplex, and started the option period(ten days to get it inspected, etc). After this, if we are happy, we can start the contract. We are waiting on one major piece of the puzzle to fall into place before we can do this though-I have to have a renter's contract on my condo in Allandale. This will show the lenders that my debt to income level is good enough to bless me with the loan. I haven't stressed about any of this so far, why start now? I post it on Craigslist a few times a day, and I bought some signs tonight to post at the nearest intersection. If God wants me there, He will provide. Having said that, I would value your prayers.
First, that I do everything with God's blessing, and in order to lift His name up. It is easy for me to forget and try to muscle something into place. But He gave me the idea, He put them on my heart, and He can easily pull all the pieces together should He desire.
Second, that I find a renter for my condo. More about that below.
Third, that God would multiply our Vision series group. We are 2 right now. Steve Hussman and I chose to meet in his place, the same complex where all my Karen families live, and take a specific slant on it. We want group to be focused on the refugees and the North Austin community where he lives and soon, Lord willing, I will too. So if that sounds like where God is leading your heart, look us up on the Austin Stone's website.
Thank you all for all your encouragement in this. Sometimes I just want to hear from someone besides my folks that I'm on the right track :)

*About the Condo-I have a number I'd like to get, to break even, but if I found a great couple, or someone from the Stone, I'd be willing to drop it a bit. So if you know anyone that is looking for a beautiful 2 bedroom 1 bath, one block away from the Mopac/Anderson intersection(and ten minutes to downtown, 3 miles to Camp Mabry, 5 minutes from the Domain and the Arboretum, 5 miles from ACC Northridge, and 6 miles to UT, etc.), point them in my direction! Pictures are available.

Well I, for one, am thrilled for you. I had no idea what all this moving talk was about but now I understand. Being led by God is a great feeling isn't it?!? I love that you're happy and driven! I'll be praying!
