Destination:Known!

Destination:Known!
About us

Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I am doing a new thing; NOW it springs forth, do you not perceive it?  I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. 

Nothing like last minute.......

How many of you told me that God was going to do something last minute.  Oh, I believed you, I just didn't want to wait until last minute.  Well, God's way are not our ways!  

This past couple weeks have been an emotional roller coaster!  We were both in bed for an entire week with the flu.  Didn't get any packing done and couldn't look for a place to move in that time.  Can you say stressed out!! This past few days, the Lord has brought us some really wonderful helpers to finish up the packing and cleaning!  What a huge huge blessing!  Tomorrow the movers come! 

Oh, you want to know where we are moving?  Well, kind of a crazy story.  A few weeks ago we went to look at a bi-level home in Eldo that was for rent, but also on the market for sale.  The house was so cluttered with things that we couldn't even walk through it.  The owner called us back a few days ago and said the tenants were out and it was cleaned, so would we want to go see it again.  We decided it was our only chance to get to Eldo.  We went yesterday to look at it.  It was cleaned, it was doable, but it wasn't ideal at maybe 1000 sq ft and the rent was $700.  We were going to have to store things for sure and pay higher rent than hoped for.  We both were not excited but told them we would let them know on Monday (today) for sure.  It just didn't feel right in our spirit, but we were running out of options.....well frankly, we had no other options!!  Or did we???


After we left that house, we saw another house with a UHaul in the driveway.  We went to the door and said "this may be a longshot, but just thought we'd ask if you were moving in or out?  They were moving in.  Darn!!  We left that house and felt led to go down the block and turn.  As we turned the corner, we noticed a house for sale.  We have driven all over Eldo for 6 weeks and looked at just about every house for sale and never saw this house!   We pulled in the driveway and I said to Ken, go ask if they will rent this house.  The lady who answered the door was a caretaker for a sick child.  She said she would have the owners call us Monday night (last night).  They did.  They said they were moving out in two weeks as they were building a new home and yes they would consider renting to us.  We went down this morning to look at the house and it works.  It's more than doable.   We get to move in around 2/1...until then we stay in Excelsior Springs, MO in a furnished home!
This is our new temporary home in El Dorado Springs, MO.

It's about 2500 sq ft, 4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bath with a 2 car garage and 2 acre yard and the rent is only $525!  It even has a nice sunroom!! They will take the dogs, they will allow us to put up a fence for the dogs (which is going in before we get there).  They are considering taking it off the market while we lease to give us time to decide whether we want to buy it or continue renting until God provides for another home.  The good news is that we shouldn't have to store anything as there should be enough room.  The only two negatives - it needs a little TLC to get move in ready (which I hope they do) and it has no basement for storms.  That just means I have to trust God even more!

GOD IS GOOD!!  ALL THE TIME!  EVEN WHEN WE DOUBT, HE IS FAITHFUL! 

Our movers will keep our stuff on the truck for the next two plus weeks....and deliver to Eldo when we are ready to move in.  In the meantime, we will be kicking back in Excelsior Springs!  Hope to have some type of going away gig in the meantime! 

We want to thank you all for your prayers and for your kind words to us!  We will continue to blog as the Lord reveals more ..... our purpose for moving etc.  We would love to have you come visit us - it's only an 1 hr 30 minute drive there...... and bring care packages with you (HA!) as we don't have a Walmart.....just one grocery store!  

Blessings Abundant!!
Ken & Michele Cole

About us:

Ministry - 
Ken and I love to pray for folks who need a touch from the Lord - with words of encouragement, words of knowledge and a healing touch.  If you are someone in need, please let us know.  We also have a passion to activate and influence believers to walk in radical obedience to a fun and wonderful God!  There is just nothing like it!  

If you are interested in Ken and I coming to minister to you, your small group or church, or go on a "treasurehunt" with us, please give us a call or email.  We would be delighted to!


Business - 
Our LLC is official - Want InSight Chaplain Services.  We still have many things that need to be done, logo design, website, etc.... waiting on God to provide the resources and further direction.  

In the meantime,  would you please help us?  Do you know of an employer who often experiences high absenteeism due to the employees having personal issues?  Or maybe has little employee engagement due to struggles on or off the job?  We can help with that.  
We are looking for companies who truly care about their employees and want to offer a business enrichment program that can increase productivity, improve employee and employer morale and provide a safe and emotionally health work environment.  If you know of someone who may be interested, would you be willing to give us an introduction?    We are determined and blessed to have this opportunity to create a cultural change in the workplace!
