We were an Army family who had lived in 20 houses owned by others and had prayed for 10 years about living in our own home.
Finally, the Lord gave us the green light to buy a home of our own. Practically it had become possible but, paradoxically, we were due to be moved on in 2 years, necessitating a return to rented accommodation. Estate agents didn’t take us as serious buyers and the only house that seemed right was beyond our prayerfully determined budget. Amazingly the vendor accepted our offer and held it for the 4 months it took to sell the ‘student’ house that our children had moved on from. The deal was done, we moved in.
18 months later, I was posted to a new unit – within cycling distance of home! When my next, and final, posting before leaving the Army came it was only 3 miles from home!!
