House sitters

Well, finding house sitters has been an adventure. With two dogs and a cat, just closing up the house was not an option. I was becoming distraught to find someone to house sit in January. Then God did what he always does and provided the "perfect" scenario. A friend and her family were in the process of building a home and hoped to sell their house at summer's end, house sit for us in the fall, and move into their newly completed home as we arrived home in December. Perfect! However, with the housing market what it is, my friend's home was not selling. It became apparent that her family would be committed to caring for three homes and making three payments if they were to house sit for us. We wanted to absolve them of that commitment. Early one Thursday morning in early August, we confirmed our need to find another alternative. Nathan and I began to post the need on our various networking sites. We had about a month to find a solution. Could we do it? Well, no we couldn't, but God could and did in about five hours. Neale and Dalisa Bryan had their plans change suddenly and found themselves in need of housing for the fall semester. He is in HU for additional minister training, and Dalisa hoped to stay home with their daughter Ellie. By the moving of God's hand, I got Neale's cell number, made the call, had him look at our house (he just happened to be in town), and confirmed their commitment to take care of things here all in about five hours. Wow . . . God did it again.
