The Movable Perkins Act I

So we had renters ready to rent on the 1st of Sept! Their only request- air conditioning! The wife is pregnant and cannot possibly bear a summer without it here in Lakeside. Seems reasonable! I did want to replace our old A/C unit that caught fire several years ago. So we got some quotes and planned the job. Aug.10 (aprox 1 month after everything is a go) the rental wannabes back out! Deposit paid on the A/C- we go ahead as planned. No prospects for the rental now it's the 15th. "Lord, Lord, wherefore art thou, my Lord.....?"

I love my parents! They are very generous and wonderful... on most days! My dad and I are alot alike! Stubborn and reasonable. Loud and silent! You'd just have to see us in action to believe it! My family of 4 is going to be invading this couple's space very soon, and if we have no renters, it will be a very tight fit financially! (It is now but the renters were making it possible to look ahead)

I think God is showing me that every aspect of this plan has to be surrendered to Him or it won't work! I WANT God in control, I just forgot how to get out of the driver's seat! If I am trusting in money, or renters, or jobs, or visas... then that's just dumb! He has a plan and a way. No one can get to Australia except by Him!
