(Post from my other Blog: http://LetGodBeGod.com)

As many of you may already know, Susanne and I surrendered to God’s call to ministry last March. We have been fervently praying for God’s will in our lives, and for His guidance in the next step(s) we should be taking in obedience to accomplish His will.

After much prayer, we have decided to sell our home.

We have had a burden on our hearts for over a year now concerning financial freedom (thanks Joe), and while we have made great strides in getting there, we feel that this will be a BIG STEP towards finally making it happen!

We know that God is in control, and we have already found a home that is going to be a step of faith. We are trusting that God will sell our house quickly and He can make it happen!

Buy purchasing this home, we will accomplish two things…we will be DEBT FREE except for a mortgage (which by the way will be a little more than half of what we are currently paying) and we will also be fulfilling a dream of being “out in the country” on a few acres of land. 

Please pray for favor with the owners of this property (a sister and two brothers selling their mother’s home) and for God’s perfect plan to be accomplished.  We have not listed our house with a realtor because financially that would be a bit of a set back, so we are trying to sell it on our own. 

We have constructed a website at www.2121TwinBridge.com for potential buyers to view, and we have made printable flyers to distribute. If you know of anyone that would be interested in buying our house, please let them know. Otherwise, please pray that the house will sell quickly and that we will be able to accomplish our financial goals.

Thank you all so much for praying, and for being wonderful brothers and sisters in Christ who we can turn to in our trials, laugh with in our joys, weep with in our sorrows, and celebrate with in our successes.  We cannot imagine doing this “thing” called life without you all!!!

Had to pass this along to anyone that needs to purchase a Domain Name.

I just purchased a new domain name and the initial cost was $10.15

I entered Code OYH3 and it lowered the cost to $7.15.

Great Savings!!! (Home for Sale @ www.2121TwinBridge.com)

I have known about this for a while, but just recently stumbled upon it again.

Here is a cool site at http://www.databaseanswers.org to assist with data model designs.

They have hundreds of database designs specific for certain types of needs such as…

• Blogs
• Cemeteries
• CD Collection
• Games Store
• Help Desk
• MP3 Music Site

163+ data models…
