PLEASE PRAY, we are a little stressed out. We have 17 days until we go to Ireland to look for a house and ours has not even had an offer. We have been told by all the realestate people that go through that is is well presented and shows beautifully and is not too high priced but it hasn't sold. We would like to be able to put an offer on something over there but we sure don't want to own two houses. Here are some houses we are concidering in Ireland. Pray that we would get what God intends for us to use for Kingdom work! The other problem is we have found a puppy in Ireland. The breed we were looking for, Soft Coated Wheaton Terrior. The lady said she would hold it for us but we have to be sure we have a house to go to, if we have to rent they may not allow dogs. Here is mom with puppies,(one of them could be ours) and here is one of the puppy's relative. Could you just die, they are so cute. We will also get a kitty when we go over. I have been in cat withdraw ever since Spike passed a year ago. This is the longest I have been without a cat since I was a child!! We even have names for them. I am looking for ward to walking our new dog in Ireland on all those soft days (if you are Canadian and don't know what soft days are ask me) and getting to know our new neigbourhood. When we go to Ireland we get to go see the puppies and I am hoping we can pick one out. Please pray for our house, the puppies and smooth traveling for us. Thanks!!

The dogs are adorable! I could see why you are excited. The girls must be beside themselves!
I know what it feels like to put ALL my faith in God when it has to do with something as big as what you are doing...life is a big deal! Finding a house is a big deal and selling a house is a big deal...you have lots on your plate but know that we are praying for you!
We're having excatly the same problems but the opposite way around, the sale of our house in England isn't going smoothly so we've already lost a couple of houses over here and now it looks like the dog we want from the BCSPCA we won't be able to have either because we don't have a house yet. I totally sympathise and you have our prayers for your situation.
