Friday is THE day we've been waiting for so long!

 Friday, January 4th, is the day we sign the papers that will make us, officially the owners of the lovely stone cottage we have been waiting for all this time!  When we first looked at it, the honeysuckles were still in bloom.  Now, FINALLY, the time has come.

From a human standpoint, it seems there was absolutely no reason for all this delay... mainly people being contrary, overlooking details, dropping the ball.  Perhaps it was a time for us to practice walking by faith.  I don't know, but I am so happy the time is finally here.

The thought of moving is overwhelming, but I'm just going to take it one step at  a time.  Pray that all goes well, nobody gets sick, or injured by the moving process, and that God will provide all that we need.

Thanks for your love, patience, interest and prayers for us through this process!

Love,
Robyn

What a wonderful beginning to your year! Will you have to change your Xanga name to StoneCottage?

I keep thinking how I won't be a "tin cottage" resident any more. That name has been with me SO long.... trying to put a good spin on a liability!
I even had a bookshop named that, and I have a website called that, including my domain name, www. mytincottage.com. SO, I'll probably leave it that way, BUT, in my mind and heart, I'll add "no more!" to it!

Happy New Year, and God bless you!

Robyn, I completely agree with you about the quality of community of people who've been outcast. I hope to find out otherwise someday, but so far, in my experience, it is only those who have been broken and rejected who have real depth to them. I wouldn't recommend that anyone trash their life or their relationships in order to get that depth, but there's no denying that the most real people I've know are also people who've been through failure and pain. 

I think your nomer 'Tin Cottage' is a badge of honor. What a great story! You should always keep that to help sweeten the joy of your beautiful stone cottage.

Hi, Robyn. Yes, I did write that story about Frank Follis and his ministry. But you could easily say that I did not make it up! Too close to home. I've known Franks for many years, in every church. Congratulations on the cottage!

Glad to hear about your house   Also, thanks for your comment on my most recent post.  It was a really good conference, and hopefully in the next few days I'll be able to share more about other things that I learned.  I went to this one session where this guy mentioned how the church in America is basically in real trouble today, and he said that it was mostly over ecclesiology.  Then he went on to say how our Christology needs to be more important than our ecclesiology, and how if that's true in our life, then our ecclesiology will fall into place.  I found what he said really profound, and it's something that I've been pondering over a lot.
