Contagion

After searching for a few months of looking at complete dives for basement suites, we found a winner. Yesterday's paper had what seemed to be tons of nice looking suites so we started phoning. We narrowed it down to a few and went and looked at them today. The first one was the most disgusting thing we've ever looked at. There was dirt and garbage everyone on the floors and it was empty. So they were just lazy and hadn't gotten it cleaned yet. I basically decided that I wouldn't rent it just based on that fact alone.

So on we went to our second place and the whole time we were thinking that this was gonna be just like all the others. We thought it might be nice but based on every other place we weren't hopeful. We pull up this 900 foot driveway and as we come around the last corner at the top, BAM! There it was. A house that was just built in February. A far cry from what we were expecting. It's on 5 acres of land and sits on top of a mountain overlooking the valley. We walk inside the front door and my jaw drops. It has cherry laminate flooring throughout, brand new appliances, 3 bedrooms and massive living/dining room and a sweet kitchen. We looked out the massive front windows and the view is absolutely breathtaking. What makes this deal so sweet is that it's only $1000/month with utilities and satellite included! It's about 8 minutes drive out of town but that doesn't bother me at all.

Here we thought that because our last deal fell through that we wouldn't be able to find another place for that cheap. And here it was just waiting for us for this time. We move in on Dec.1 and we are so stoked to be moving into our city. We love Mission in a way that is very odd for us. We just can't wait to get into the place we feel God has called us to and having a house like this is just icing on the cake. The fact that we launch TXC fully public on Jan.14 gives us time to get settled in and ready for the crazy adventure ahead!

God is so crazy with his timing sometimes but it's awesome. Someone asked us the other day if they should tithe directly to our family instead of the church and Bek turned it down. She told them that in essence them and us would be doing is telling God that we didn't trust him to provide for us and that we needed to have some control. The way this deal has just gone down today is proof that having God in control of your life is the best way to live. It seemed that everything was spiralling very quickly out of control but I think it had to get to that place so that God could come through like he did today.

I gotta try and go and get some sleep now. Maybe I'll post some pictures if I'm able to take any tomorrow.
