A while ago now the Lord defanately gave me a date. When the Lord has given me dates in the past something has always happened/ come to pass. On this date the only significant thing that happened was a lady e.mailed me about an exchange (house exchange). We have been praying for a long time now about wether we need to move away or stay here. As we lived in Wales and came back to London really of our own accord, because of family situations, We have felt unsettled eversince. Then sometimes we fall in to a lull, like a false sence of security. Anyway this lady lived in Church Stretten, which is on the border of Wales, still classed as England. On a Friday morning, whilst my husband was on a weeks holiday, we both woke with the same thought of getting up and driving to Church Stretten and looking at the house and area. We went. It all felt right. We were met on the moterway by a pastor that we know, who's crusade we had attended only the week before. He drove along side our car and said "God is with you", smiled and drove off. He was with his wife and son. The lady was very keen indeed to move to our place. She spoke about Church Stretten being called "Gods waiting room". All seemed to be running smoothley. I then discovered how small the house was, although we gained a garden and lost a lot of living space. I backed out, as I could not bear to live in a small place. We had to do this when we lived in temporary accomodation. Do you think this is the Lords way? That this is where we are supposed to be going? the lady is still looking to move. We just want to do what the Lord wants us to do, but it isn't always easy to know for sure. Thanks for reading.

I know that downsizing doesn't feel like your progressing; however, in the times we are in these days, it may be a blessing. A garden would also be a big help for most families, as well. It sounds like something to consider because of the divine appointment with the date, the pastor, and his word for you. You also said it all felt right. Your husband and you should be in agreement. And even though it would not be your ideal for a home right now, you should have peace when moving towards it, if it is God. I do believe that God is positioning His people for the days to come.

We have had an exceedingly great change in our lives in the past year, and know that God is putting us where we will fare best in the days to come. My husband's work ended (for everyone) just days after we made the decision to go with God's leading to leave the area. The area is now suffering an unusually high level of unemployment, and businesses are shutting down. Very sad, we have family there that we have had to help out. Our living space has been reduced to studio apartments that we rent while on the road with my husbands work; the blessing is that his work goes where ever the work is at in the country. The peace of God and His provision has been amazing during this very different (to us) experience in our life; we have been able to visit (on a regular bases) our children and parents that are spread out all over the country. Another blessing in being obedient. I know that for some of the inconveniences living on the road has brought, being in his will has made up for it in so many ways. (I know the same will be for you and your family where ever God leads you.) Every where we go we begin a prayer program over the city we come into, because the word of God says to "pray for peace in the cities I send you to dwell in, that you might live there and prosper ..." -God bless you and keep you in all His ways. -dee
