FAITH: Waiting on the Right Tenant

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4: 6-7


So many changes and choices in our household lately. I had not realized how much a person of familiarity and sameness I am until this week. Another one is occurring tomorrow--our excellent tenant in our rental house is moving out. He has been so patient and diligent for this past last year. We had some trees fall on the house several months ago and he's dealt with construction, leaks and pests so gracefully while we worked to get contractors hired and things repaired. Unfortunately he was laid off from his job and needs to move back home for a time to save money. We are sorry to see him leave but await to see whom God is going to send to our little house next. We've had calls almost every single day since we put the FOR RENT sign in the front yard. Three couples are extremely interested and my husband is showing the house on Saturday morning. We pray in faith that a special single or couple will rent the place since it is my husband's childhood home (remodeled) and we know so many of the neighbors. The sooner the better since there are some expenses in maintaining the house and it's an income buffer for us as well. Waiting on the Lord...His timing is not always ours but we know it will be perfect.
