Where will we live next year!?

Where will the Rouse House be moving!?

So, this exciting waiting game continues! Where will the Lord have Clint and I next year!?!?!  We feel undeniably called to the ministry of Young Life, but where will live to get to love a community and high school/college aged friends!?!? Our hope is that we will still live in North Carolina, preferably east.. but this is just the small details.  The big detail is that we want to be obedient to where the Lord is calling us!  I have had a strange peace about this process until about a month ago... I have recently been anxious about leaving my job at Chick-fil-A, possibly not being close to family and friends, will we buy a house in our new town, where will we live in this new town, what job will I have in our new town, can we afford to purchase a house, will we have friends in our new town, what church will we join, will we fit in with a new place, and the list continues!  So, if you think about it... will you pray for us in this process?  

Here is a little Bible nugget we have been clinging to this week... It has provided an incredible peace in my soul when I remember the Lord's truth and promise in our lives!

"Now God has us where he wants us, with all the time in this world and the next to shower grace and kindness upon us in Christ Jesus. Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It’s God’s gift from start to finish! We don’t play the major role. If we did, we’d probably go around bragging that we’d done the whole thing! No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing."

Ephesians 2:8-10 (The Message)

What is your prediction?  Where do you think we will go!?

Only the Lord knows!

Trusting in Him,

Mary
