Welp!
Yesterday the Lord told me, "You need only be still". I looked that up in the Bible and found it in Exodus 14:14 The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still."
Yesterday we looked at a home that would meet our needs, was in a great location and neighborhood and when I walked in I felt the Lord in it. I even found out some friends of ours used to rent it and told us it was an amazing home.
There were multiple applicants on this home. The management company told us today that we did NOT get it because someone else scored higher. They said our "score" was exemplary. The only score they could have scored higher would be income. Our credit scores are 800 - our background and references came back immaculate! And yet...
I prayed yesterday that Lord if this was the place you had for us and not the destiny property, then open the door that no man can shut. And the door was shut. I asked Him if this wasn't it, would you please open destiny doors. Here we are 1 ONE DAY before moving day and we have literally NO PLACE to go.
The last blog I said we had a place to sleep but Ken and I are in unity strongly on this - we do not have any peace about it and absolutely do NOT feel led to go. There are so many issues with that place. And very distressing to think it's the only open crack. The biggest issue is that we have to put $2400 down and NO proration if we find something else in a day or two. We do not have extra cash lying around! We would have to rent 3 storage units on top of that - and have to put our freezers and refrigerator a mile down the road. There is no shower. There is no wifi (which I use to find work, work on my books etc), we'd have to park 2 cars in another location so I would have no way to get to my car during the day. We would have no living room space as boxes would have to be stacked there that can't go to storage. We'd have no kitchen table so we'd have to eat on our laps! Do you see the dilemma! Oh maybe I'm just whining. But would this work for you? Be honest!
I literally have had just an hour or two sleep a night for the past few weeks. Pain levels have been at an all time high - of course STRESS does that to you! Who's stressed??@$%^&
We are going to look at 1 other place today - it still is not ideal for us and probably would require a storage unit on top of the rent which is more than we pay now. It's clean however. So that's a plus. I definitely need God to open a door for income! There is also not much parking as a duplex so not sure what we will do there. I don't know if we can fit our two cars & Ken's work truck? We'd sell one but both are pretty much need both in case one breaks down again - what we really need is 1 newer reliable vehicle and sell these! And we will have to find a way to buy a washer and dryer.
I am still believing though through many tears and an occasional screams that God is either going to open destiny doors for us today (before we start the actual move into where tomorrow?) or that He opens the place we looked at yesterday - that He would not allow MAN to shut that door! This is the only 1 we have peace about!
We need God's PEACE & PROVISION!!

Vision
God has given us a vision to build a retreat property along with ministry equipping center.
The retreat portion of our ministry is to provide a safe place for pastors, lay leaders & other ministry folks to come and be refreshed & encouraged through prophetic ministry (if wanted). We will offer private cabins with kitchens & full bathrooms, and plenty of places to roam on the property to get quiet with the Lord.
We will offer other specialty retreats - marriage, healing, prophetic teaching & activating people into the world & health and wellness retreats and more.
The Lord has graced us with the desire to come alongside the Church - to bring healing, deliverance & freedom to new/newer believers. We are not wanting to replace their church, but better help them be ready to serve in their church.
In our community building - we will eventually have a 24/7 prayer room, healing & prophetic rooms and a place for community worship services for those on the property.
Our passion is to minister to a lost & hurting world. To equip the saints to do the same and to be a blessing to our community and surrounding areas. Our hopes are that we can pour out God's love in a mighty way to bring more and more souls into the Kingdom, get them discipled, called into their purpose & destiny and released to do God's business!!!! We also have a passion to give generously to help those in need and to help others launch into their God given destinies.
