GOD’S TIMING
Hello HOPE! Dale and Gloria here.
Thank you for praying for our transition from Alberta to Ontario.
You may have heard that we were in Ontario on the weekend of March 24, 25.
Our prayer was that God would lead us to a house that would become our home, but also a home that would be exactly where God would want us to be a light – a beacon of Hope. Gloria also specifically asked God to let us know, somehow, which house that might be. That prayer was answered, let me tell you how.
On March 24th, Roger showed Gloria and I around to eleven homes for sale; all around Bowmanville and Oshawa, and everything in between. Then on the 25th, we went to view three new listings, and returned to one from the day before. We returned to one home from the day before for several reasons. The house met all the requirements we were looking for: downsized from our Calgary home, 3 bedrooms plus a rec room, two bathrooms, well kept, quiet street, garage, nice curb appeal – you know, all the standard things you look for in a home. But while we toured this home, Gloria noticed a clock hanging in the dining room that was the exact clock we have in our Calgary home. She looked at me and said, “it’s a sign!” And together we smiled at the wonder of God, and his smile upon us. When it came time to submit our bid, there was only one other offer being placed. We took this to be another sign as two other homes that held our interest were receiving eight or more bids, which resulted in those homes selling for substantially more than what we were prepared to pay. God knew our needs and respected our desire for an affordable home through which we could be a blessing to our neighbours.
