I’m not sure if you are aware of this or not, but recently God has placed a burden on my heart to buy a home. I have never desired to own a home in America. I don’t think it was because I was afraid; I think it was more so the fact that I didn’t feel like America was where I was going to end up. Plus we all know that houses in America, are soooo expensive!
Back in December, I was praying about vision and why God had placed me in Romania. I didn’t know the language well enough; I could hardly communicate with anyone. I had also been sick almost the entire month with pneumonia, so I was starting to struggle with the lack of American comfort. It was a rough time. I remember praying one morning in the middle of the month. “God, why have you called me to Romania? What specifically do you have for me here? Why am I here?” A few days later, BOOM. I had a burden on my heart to buy a house. I didn’t know what to do with this. I mean buying a house isn’t exactly a small thing. And if I buy one, shouldn’t I buy one stateside? Anyways, I didn’t share my burden/conviction with anyone else and waited until the Lord confirmed it through some other means.
Couple weeks pass and my mom comes for Christmas here. We talk a little bit about me buying a house, but I didnt talk about anything to serious with her. She leaves for America and I start talking with Raul. I will never forget this day. Raul looked me straight in the eyes and said “Do you want to buy a house here?” I couldn’t help, but laugh. God is amazing and He knows exactly how to confirm things, as well as make them funny! 😉 Raul knew of a house that was for sale and for a few years has been praying that the house would be on the market, so that we could use it for ministry. I knew about him wanting it for the ministry, but it never connected until January 5th. I will tell you ever since that day, my vision has been set on buying that house. There are so many details I feel like I can’t explain in just one blog, but I will tell you this. I have never been more confident in my life about the calling the Lord has placed on my life for Romania. The location of the house and my vision for why I’m here go hand-in-hand. Even though I’ve never been inside (plan for this week is to go inside), I know the house is Mine. There have been so many confirmations that I can’t even begin to express.
Please pray with me about this house. It will cost about $30,000 to buy the house and land. But….there is NO fear in the name of Jesus. I know the property is already mine, because God has told me this is very loud ways. Pray over the house that God’s presence would start to fall upon it. This house is going to be a house of prayer!
Next blog: More of the vision behind the house and property. Also, I’ll share about the PVT and how God worked in amazing ways!
Praying, excited & proud! xox
