Moving again! SOMEWHERE in the next 5 Weeks.

Where will the movers take our belongings when our lease expires Sept 12? The landlord apparently wants to move back in to the place that's been our home for us since 2008. Oh, I'm still hoping that we'll get a phone call, "I've decided to renew the lease..."

In the meantime, I'm ready for HEAVEN...anyone else eager for that move too? 

Since that's up to the Lord, who wants us as neighbours? We're open to suggestions! At this point, I'm open to a move anywhere!

James Creasman, wherever we end up is going to be great. I'm glad to move there with you. Every place we've lived in Singapore so far has been a slightly 11th hour miracle. 

For instance, this current place; we'd walked all over the Clementi area of Singapore, praying for guidance, and then at the end of the walk, we told the realtor we wanted Blk 356 in Clementi. She laughed. A couple days later one came available. When we came to view it, the realtor admitted he'd just signed a contract with someone else. Oh, our realtor wasn't very happy he'd inconvenienced all of us to come when it wasn't available after all. We asked to see it anyway, and loved it. It's really a cozy place. We prayed that this "no way" didn't mean "absolutely no way." Two days later the realtor called to say the other people pulled out and it's been our home the last 5 years. Thank God for that realtor who forgot to cancel our viewing appointment!

If you can help us find this needle in a haystack, here's what we're looking for:

• 14-15 month lease starting Aug/Sept, goes thru November 2014 (tough, as most leases are 2yr)
• 2+ bedrooms, unfurnished, Aircon!
• under S$3000/mo (yeah, we know, "good luck")
• we have a small [very housebroken] dog

In the immediate neighborhood of these flags. in the same building, or next door. Seriously! I have to move near someone I know to share life with, or I think I will just have to move out of Singapore!!! I just dont think I can start all over from scratch in a new place without knowing any of my neighbors!!! 

Are you on my Google map (if you'd like to be our neighbours)? 
If not, tag yourself! I'm giving this to the realtor!

"Lord, here's where I have good friends in Singapore, and if we really do have to move by Sept 13, I would love to live near them (that is, if I can't live on Clementi Avenue 2 where we are now and know the people here). Would you help us know your leading as we search for the place we need to move? No matter what I know you're good, and this inconvenience is part of your plans for us."

This is where we have friends I have who are already reaching out to neighbors and would be interested in "living in community." I've been so fascinated by the "intentional community" many of our colleagues in CRM have been doing. Recently, I bought and started reading this book. My heart longs to live this way with people in the family of God.
