We placed an offer on the 11 acres that is located just north of Stover, MO and the seller accepted our offer. The interesting thing that God has done is take us from looking for a farm close to a large metropolitan area to looking in a more rural area which is close to a very popular lake area. The property we settled on is fairly close to what we began looking for and very close to the price we set a year ago.
The property has a mixture of open and treed land, a pond, a well, a small creek and a small house. That is almost everything we had on our list. It is secluded yet easily accessible.
Here is what has taken place in the last few years. We have become open to the dream God placed in our hearts, we have become debt free, we have trusted as God moved us to the area He wanted us to have the farm in and we have looked at every set-back, road block, closed door and disappointment as the next step to God revealing where He wanted us. We have had the support of our family and friends which we look forward to having down often for visits.
Today I want to encourage you to move forward on the dream God has given you and if you do not know what that is I encourage you to pray about it. It will most likely have something to do with your life experiences and the gifts and talents He has given through them and through His Spirit.
I want to leave you with what I saw in the bathroom at the McDonalds in Versailles, MO. It goes something like this: "Be willing to give up yourself to become what you can be."
Pray about it, Move toward it, Work for it and Let God Deliver it.
