Impossible Prayer?

Friends, we need your prayers about our housing. Griff and I have been in the house hunt for several months now. It looked like there was a home with our name on it but we watched it disappear. Our lease at our current home is up the end of August. That leaves about 60 days to figure out what we are doing. We want to be moving into a new home the end of August but there just doesn't seem to be any homes like what we want and need. Will you please pray with us that God would meet and surpass our needs and desires for a home. We need to be able to close and move in by August 31st. We want it to be closer to Griff's job to shorten his 45 minute commute but still close to Millersville University. We want three bedrooms, at least 1 1/2 baths. We want it to be pretty much move in ready. We would love a yard in a quiet neighbor and lots of room to host people. We desire a house for ministry, to welcome people in. A home that radiates the love of Christ. A home that all feel safe who enter. And we want all of this for 180,000 or less.

I know it sounds impossible. But I know our God is a God of the impossible. It seems impossible that the walls of Jericho would come tumbling down just by men marching around blowing trumpets but they did. It sounds impossible that a man would get swallowed by a big fish for three days and live to tell about it but he did. It seems impossible that a virgin would give birth to a child, the Messiah but she did. It seems impossible that a man could conquer death and be resurrected but he was! This too God can do. I want to be a woman who believes God for big things. I mean He took this blonde blue eyed girl from Iowa, to Colorado then to Pennsylvania to finally meet her husband and begin a family. He can do this! Will you please join us in this impossible prayer and see how God answers!

I will keep you posted. Sharon
