Nige and I are about to embark on, perhaps, our most expensive venture. Tomorrow we fly to Auckland to spend 2 1/2 weeks, looking around at houses and schools for 2007. Our dream is to buy our very first home but we have never done anything like this before so feel quite unprepared. I think we will need a help guide :-) We are armed with a deposit and a preapproved mortgage so now it's shopping time. Please pray for us in these next couple of weeks. We need to find the right house, in the right area and for the right price. It all seems very difficult as the area we are looking in is quite an expensive one. But we know that God has gotten us into this adventure and He will provide for us. I'll keep you up to date with how we go.

Thanks for keeping us all posted on what is going on in your lives. Your previous post was great as well.
Just remember in trying to find that "right house", "right area", and "right price" that God has known all this even before He led you back to NZ. Our definition of "right" may not be His. He promises to make all thing work together for good according to His purposes to conform us to the image of His Son. Sometimes this clashes with our own defintion of what is "good". Rest in Him and allow Him to lead you through this time.
Pray for us too this Saturday as we have a big "restructuring" meeting planned--mainly along the ways we want to do disicipling.
Happy hunting! I'm looking forward to seeing the picture!
lots o' prayer your way! Moving is on the bottom of my favorit things to do list. Way way way bottom
We'll be praying in the Carolinas!
Shalom,
Steve K.
