Iola House Closing!

Today we sold and closed on our home in Iola.  We moved to Hesston four years ago and have been trying to sell that house since then.  I have posted often about this journey, but I thought I would share some numbers this time.

  • 49 months on the market
    • 3 renters
    • 41 months of rent to cover mortgage payments
  • Number of people who gave money anonymously or paid rent for us = 4
  • Number of times our bills went unpaid = 0
  • Numbers of prayers that were prayed on our behalf = Thousands
  • Number of encouraging emails, cards, or words = Hundreds

Thank you God that your are Faithful & Jehovah Jireh (God who provides)!

    I’m glad it got finally sold. 49 months was a long stay in the market. You guys have a strong heart and mind to still push through with it. And I believe home sellers go through the same agonizing process as home buyers. I think it would’ve helped if you asked a professional to stage it for you. But that was over, so hear my congratulations! :)

    Congratulations!!! Your patience and hard work definitely paid off this time. I guess the support you get from your friends and family also helped you wait with a hopeful heart. =)

    I know it’s late, but congratulations on selling that house, JL! I should say that your time and effort in finding your special home buyer were all worth it. By the way, who’s the new home owner now? =)

Sermon Notes-"Transitional Thoughts"

Introduction: As I was thinking and praying about what to share during my final sermon on staff, I began to think of the transition that I am making as well as the church.   We as pastors have been consistently focused on three priorities over the last several years: prayer, worship and equip.   So, even though I may no longer be on staff in a few weeks at this church, as a member of this church I believe just as strongly that Hesston MB needs to continue to be about these priorities in the days ahead.   However, the more I prayed about it, the more I realized that to get to these priorities, we as a church also had to make some transitions so that is why I am entitling this message “Transitional Thoughts”.   Transition is defined as “the process or an instance of changing from one form, state, activity, or place to another.” Educate to Equip- Ephesians 4:11-16 ·          What is the difference?   o    To educate the focus is information; to equip the focus is transformation o

You Are Blameless
