This past week had been a Roller Coaster week! 8 days ago we bought a brand new, 3600 sq. feet Cul-de-sac, Standard Pacific Home (with view) in San Clemente, which is set to be built in November 2009! Well, the Late-Breaking news is that we will be BREAKING the contract and RETURNING the house (above) ~ ~ (^_^) ~ ~
We listed our home for the past 7 days, and enjoyed helping with our church's 5-days of Vacation Bible School. Last nite, as we were driving home, hubby and I both felt touched by the Lord to return our dream home! Yes, it's good to have a dream home, but we realized it's even more fulfilling to sow seeds and lead others to a more important Home ~ our eternal dwelling!
Our home here is a temporary place, where moths (and ants, and burglars) can destroy ~ but our Heavenly Home is somewhere we will spend our lifetime with our Father and loved ones in the Lord ~ and no one can take it away from us.
So that's where we're headed..... a new Adventure! FAITH ~ is a Fantastic Adventure In Trusting Him! Thanks everyone for your prayers! So we'll just enjoy views of San Clemente from afar!
So today, we will go to the Stella Mare sales office, and apologize profusely to the sweet agent who labored over our purchase, then gingerly (and quickly) take our deposit check from their hands and run.... (^_^)
Thank you for your prayers, love, care, and encouragement! Serving the Lord brought us joy and contentment that is beyond words! We are blessed with His Grace and precious friends like you!

Sorry to say this, but somehow I feel relieved to know that you are not moving further away from us! We love your family too much! It's touching to read that you realize that leading others to the eternal home is much more important than living in your dream home. Your entire family is such a big blessing to our church. -The Black Pearl
Thank you for all your prayers, love, and encouragement. It is the love of our church family and God's grace that brought us to this decision.... Now we just see if our house sells, and then we may move to Irvine ^_^
