Thank goodness Adrian thought to bring paper and a pencil on the plane, I was completely unprepared for a long plane flight!
Our trip to San Diego went well. We looked at many homes took in all the beautiful scenery, and discovered what area we would like our family to live in. Apparently Adrian and I left quite the impression on the realty office as well. They are wondering who these people are who can some into town and in three days find a house make an offer and have it accepted! Well we all know that is definitely nothing to do with us but more with the amazing God we serve who is faithful to his children. And what a wonderful legacy that we live that people say "who are they" about our family? and we can then point them to the direction of our Heavenly Father. Also I will add that I also mentioned many times our wonderful brothers and sisters in Christ who have so faithfully been praying for us. God has heard every prayer and we see and feel testimony to this everyday. And this is all pretty extraordinary when you hear about people they are currently serving who have put 50 plus offers on houses with no sellers taking and they are not seeing any end in sight for getting into a house.
Now our realtor has a funny saying about buying a house in California he always says it is only business till you get the keys. It makes most buying situations seem pretty bleak out here. But so far we seem to be making progress with the offer we made on one particular house and with everyone including us praying we are hopeful that in a few weeks we will be able to call it home. There is still much to pray about it needs to pass inspection and many other details need to happen. So we will just keep lifting that all up to the Lord.
Here are some snapshots of our trip, the landscape pictures are from the area we hope to be living in. It is a desert like climate, much different from the tropical oasis we have known in Florida. There are also some pictures of the Pacific ocean that edges San Diego also much different from the Atlantic coastlines that we have recently been exploring.
"I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ." Philemon1:6
Thank you for all the prayers ~Love The Watts Family!
Dearest Heather;
ReplyDeleteWhat joy it is to have the Lord guide your steps in everything that you and Adrian are going through.
Yes, it is wonderful to say "Praise the Lord!" it is by HIM that everything happens. This move is definitely from HIM and HE will make everything happen at HIS time!
The pictures are lovely...I also lived in CA and they certainly have a different way of looking at the world ;-)
Praying that the Lord gives you peace and complete rest during this new adventure you and your wonderful family are embarking!

It is so awesome to see God working in and through your lives!!
ReplyDeleteEven though Cali and Florida are so different, it looks like you'll still have lots of nature journal opportunities :o).
Blessings, Dear Heather! You remain in my prayers!
