44 weeks!

Looking back like this is how we AGE, I think!
44 Weeks is how long we have been in Scotland.
32 weeks is how long we have been shopping for a home in Alva.
27 weeks is how Pregnant Elizabeth is...

On nesting in our new homeland...
We went to look at a house on Saturday.
(It was nicer than we could expect for LA)
But it is tight for a family of 5 in a land where kids are inside due to rain alot.
Anything larger has so far been out of our reach in this inflated market.

The seller said they had received an offer already but it was too early to decide.
She explained that they were out of town next week and would decide when they get back.
We explained that they would hear from us in the next week.

We prayed with friends on Monday at lunchtime and decided that we were willing to squeeze into it and trusted God to direct us.
We called to note our interest when we got home, only to learn that they had accepted another offer minutes before! I couldn't bear to ask for what price.
So I groaned "Thank you God" (still groaning!)

We have been actively searching since August.
Please pray for us, these niggling disappointments wear us down.
But we know the end result will be glorifying to the God in whom we trust.

Watch this space...
