A Prayer request

Over the course of the past nine months we have used our blog to share many things. We have used it to share with you where we have come from carnally (our testimonies), where we were at in our journeys(our trip out west), we have shared things of a spiritual mind and where we are at physically.

So now I come to explain where we are and ask for your help and prayers... God’s word tells us in the book of JAMES that "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." Hence my plea. We are currently all (all but me) sick with the stomach flu. David and Lee Anna are through with most of it, but now it is Emma and Dave's turn. Emma is young and resilient, Dave on the other hand is not doing well and on top of everything associated with the stomach flu he now has a fever.... So please pray in this regard for healing for everyone and that I will not get it. (Keep in mind that we are still in the camper)

Next... When we came back to NY we asked the LORD to be very clear with us. If HE wanted us here then HE had to give us a house. When we came back we looked at one house (It was a house that had much of what both of us was looking for) and made a non-contingent offer that was accepted. (The house had been on the market since May 2008) The people that are selling the house were attempting to purchase another home in Lockport, NY. Our closing date has now come and gone (should have been Sept. 23) and the sellers are still not ready. We have been told that there is now something that they need to "satisfy" with regards to the mortgage company they are using to purchase the house in Lockport. Here in lies the problem for us, (and again, keep in mind that we are still in the camper) The campground we are staying in as well as most of the campgrounds in the north east U.S. will close for the season on or around October 15, so we are running out of time. Tomorrow Dave will tell our attorney to give a "Time is of the Essence" Order, which means that the sellers will have 10 days to close or we retract our offer. This will put us at October 10th and give us 5 days to make a decision as to what we need to do. If this is the case please pray for us, pray that GOD will endow us with the Wisdom of Solomon.

The Lord has allowed for much improved communications with our oldest child Rachael and with my parents, and strangely I have received communication from Dave's biological Mother... (through no effort on our part) We also have very dear and precious friends and wish to be close to them as well. We want to be here! However if this is not where the LORD would have us then, as I am sure you will understand, we want to be in HIS will.

Please pray that the LORDS will be done. And peace!

Robin
