Down but not out!
Deb and I have been pretty wasted when it comes to the emotional roller coaster with this housing situation. Just when you think you've got it figured out, wham your whole life gets turned around.
We seriously contemplated whether this was the final answer. It was a huge door slamming in our face. We still feel the call to Benton Harbor. Deb woke up that evening we got the news and said she prayed to get Satan away from us. I am so amazed at her desire. When I remember her attitude towards this adventure at first it's truly a transformation.
We joined a team from Allendale Wesleyan on Saturday. We had set up a Valentines party for the kids at Benton Harbor Street Ministries. everyone had a great time and I can remember stepping back at one time and said to myself this is where we belong.
I remeber feeling really depressed at the thought of stayimg in Allendale. So we are now relisted with a realtor and awaiting more showings. I have to admit it's been hard to see the house we were to call home has now had another offer and they are awaiting all the inspections etc. I knew it wouldn't last long.
So we are starting to look for homes again and trying to move foward. It will be cool to see where this journey ends. I'm hoping God is using us to be an example for others. I'm hoping that we are not messing it up!
Continuing the journey!
Randy and Deb

randy, i had not heard about the house transition breaking down until very recently. i'm so sorry to hear this!
i have been amazed to see how God has led you and Deb to this moment, so i'm a bit confounded myself about what to say.
i WILL say... God has certainly used this time to bring you and a Deb into STRONG agreement about what to do and how to do it. that in itself is really cool to see, and i appreciate so much how both of you have prayerfully wrestled with God on these matters.
i don't know what's next, but i just have to believe God's about to blow your minds. your tenacity and persistence has been a tremendous example to me, so keep it up and let us know what's next.
