The project

Its on!!!!!!

Hey friends,
Tomorrow is the big day! If all goes as planned today we will be breaking ground for our new home tomorrow. Needless to say, we will wait to celebrate till the first scoop of dirt that comes out of the ground. This has been a long drawn out process, and we are so thankful to see things coming to an end.

We have had $41,000 given towards this project we need another 50-60,000.

Thanks for your prayers,
Rob

PS. Come back often we will try to keep pictures of progress on this site.

Still waiting!!!

I feel like I'm in Haiti again.....just hurrying up to wait. We were to break ground Tuesday on the new parsonage. Due to indecisiveness at the bank we are currently waiting on an commercial appraiser to appraise the value of our property before finalizing the loan. I have been working with that bank for over 7 weeks.
Our real desire is to be in our home by Christmas...originally it looked like Thanksgiving was a possibility. Should the appraisal take as long as the banker mentioned Christmas may be in jeopardy. Please help us pray that this process will go quickly and smoothly.
On the upside of things God has been providing funds needed for building. We have had close to $35,000 towards the $90,000 needed come in.
When this process begins expect lots of pictures on this blog. We want to share our excitement with you.

Late breaking news!!!!!!

Hello faithful friends,
Loan has been approved for our new home. Pray as we wait for the appraisal for this new home. The bank will only lend 80% of the appraisal estimate. This process will take up to 10 days after we meet with this person. We are looking at breaking ground the beginning of September.

We are really excited.....I just hope that this excitement isn't blown away by some unforseen circumstance. We want to have a home by Thanksgiving....not a huge request. Its been 7 months since we've been without a home.

Thanks for your prayers,

Rob

PS. Anyone you've spoken to about our plight, please inform them of this great news.

While looking at cars............

While looking at cars.......this is what I came across. I was quite bummed that my family couldn't fit in. The trunk space was relatively small and there was no room behind the seats.
Lauren always talks about Corvette's (I wonder why). From day to day she changes from yellow, purple, and black when describing the Vette she wants to go on a date with me in.
I was shocked, the crazt dealership left the keys in the car and no salesman came out for the 15 minutes I looked over this car. I've wanted a Vette since just a kid........I've got one but its only a 1/16th scale.
