Yes once again we have found a piece of land we are praying about .
The land is perfect but the home is not it is a tiny 2 bedroom bungalow , totally not what we would need or like . However the home is only 13yo so in great shape . no outbuildings except a shed . Bonus is the land has cleared pasture but also forest. It is only 1mile from the lake so we can ride bikes , walk horse etc. dh would have an hr. drive to work one way so that'd be 2 hrs per day of driving .
We would of course love to move to this area as it is only 1/2 hr from my mother's place and near the lake and all provincial forests we know and love . The biggest issue is downsizing from a huge 2 1/2 story character home to a small 2 bedroom bungalow . However dd said to me " you can always change the house where as you cannot change the land size etc. "
We always have such a pain in our hearts when we have to drive back to the city . We love and are grateful for our home I love our house but truely we both have our hearts out of the city .
We are hoping if we place an offer on the home we'd also have enough left over from our home to build a decent garage/workshop / office building .
it is alot to pray on and placing this once again in His heart .
This place is also right up the road from the little church I've prayed we may once be a part of . Here's hoping & praying .
Thanks a bunch , Roxie

Oh, Rox...it's so hard to find the right land with the right house on it, isn't it? Asking Our Lord to offer you clarity on how to proceed and to hammer out all the details for you if this is His will!
God bless you, Rox! Please keep us updated!

Praying for this important intention...may God make His will known to you and help you find the perfect place to settle down, near your beloved woods and your mother, close to the places He intends you and your husband to be.
We have never felt settled (U.S. Navy) and I can so relate to your longing for the home of your dreams. I know God will lead you to it in His time.

Praying for God's blessing upon your search for a home. When we moved to our current home, after two long years of praying and searching, we left a 100 year old 2 story farmhouse to go to a much smaller bungalow with several acres. May the Lord reveal His will for your family and guide you to whatever if truly best for your needs.
The Lord led us to some meaningful Scripture verses during our time of searching:
Psalms 84:3 "Even the sparrow finds a nest for herself, where she may lay her young at thy altars, O Lords of hosts."
1 Maccabees 7:37 "Thou O Lord hast chosen this house for Thy name to be called upon therein, that it might be a house of prayer and supplication for Thy people."
