Slow but steady progress

Well it has been almost a whole month since I started this and I somehow managed to not share this blog site with anyone...wonder how that could happen with all the insanity in our lives. Let me just share with you what has been going on and how God is working in this whole situation:-)
Tim went to his housing Orientation at Yongsan on March 31st, at the end of his meeting he was informed of how much our BAH(Basic Allowance for Housing) would be for us to get housing off post and it worked out to be about $2800 and the building which we had been looking into moving into the 3 units we found online were over $4000 a month. But instead of fretting about this I shared with Tim what the Lord had been telling me...which was to be still and wait. So after a bit of an argument he did as I said and started to pray about. On Friday, April 3rd he happened to be back down at Yongsan for something to do with work and as he was driving around post the Lord told him he needed to go to the housing office right then. So Tim did as the Lord led him and went into the office. The woman in the office informed him that some how we were never put on the waiting list for housing but that if he could come back on Tuesday, April 7th she would be able to show him a 3 bedroom unit which was available immediately. Tim of course said yes he would be there. Now we fast forward to Tuesday and Tim goes for his tour with the inspector...he was originally supposed to see a 12th floor unit and ended up seeing a 4th floor unit. Our patio looks out at the playground. He also found out on this day that there are 15 people on the waiting list before us for housing that we somehow got to the head of the list. He of course took the apartment knowing that this was God's work and he couldn't interfere. He will sign our lease officially on April 30th which is good because it looks like we will not be able to leave here until after the 1st of May because our passports are not back in yet. We are praying that they will come in sometime in the next 2 weeks so we can get there the first week in May.
Tim will be able to stay with us the first week of May because he has to take a class at Yongsan. The other good thing is since they came and packed up and shipped our stuff for Korea on March 30th hopefully it will get there before if not right when we get there:-)
The kids and I are getting very anxious to get there as you can imagine. Tim is also getting excited about us getting there also. We will be living in Hannam-Gu(aka. Hannam Village) which is in Souel. When Tim was there Tuesday he found out that there is a Pizza Hut and Kentucky Fried Chicken less than a block from our complex...so we will see! Well I guess this is it for now! To anyone that I haven't talked to lately...I am very sorry but it seems that our days come and go very quickly around here. You are all in our thoughts and prayers and we plan to keep in touch with everyone!
Love and prayers
