...this week has been all go!!!
Monday afternoon there was excitement again in The Rasmussen home. My friend Jette rang me just as I was finishing work. She wanted to know if we would like to move to a rented farm house with them. It`s just typical of Jette!! Nearly every time I get content or do someting in our apartment she comes along with some idea about moving!! haha So Monday late afternoon we headed out to see the farm house with her, Philip and the kids.
It was a big farm house divided in two. It cost the same as our apartment to rent, so everything looked promising. When we arrived at the place we were amazed at the beauty, the house looked fantastic, sat on top of a hill, and the views were breathtaking. We were all getting really excited. Then Kristian talked to the man who owned the place, he was only renting it out for 2 years, max 3. So that put a bit of a damper on things. But we were open, if the house fitted our needs we were willing to maybe take the chance and move for just 3 years.
The house was beautiful inside, but it was just a bit too small for our needs. Even though it was bigger than our apartment, our apartment felt bigger. So it ended with that both Kristian and I didnt feel any peace about it. Sara was with us, and she was ready to move - she loved the place. but we turned it down. It was fun to see. Jette and Philip want to rent one part of the house, so if it all works out we can visit them ALOT and enjoy lots of lovely BBQ´s!!!
Tuesday evening Anne came by for a spontanous visit. It was soooo good to see her! It has been ages since we last were together, so we had lots of catching up to do. I was able to put together a quick cake just before she arrived - a very fattening one!!! and we enjoyed every piece of it!! hahaha
Wednesday Leah was at her choir practise. The choir were singing at a church service that started at 5.30pm, in one of the state churches. I decided to go along. The choir sang fantastic, Leah had to sing solo in one of the verses, she did well. It was such a blessing to be there, the songs the choir sang had really powerful words, so it did my wee heart good!
Tonight I have been at a Sunday school meeting. We started by eating dinner together. We have such a great bunch of people who work with the children in the church. It was a very productive evening.
Now I am soooo ready for bed!!

Glad to hear from you again!! Its not like you to go so many days without posting! I read that at first and thought you had finally found your dream home in the country, ah well, it just wasnt for you, the Lord has a different plan for you, just wait to see, it will be fabulous!!
Good to see you're still in the land of the living - I was beginning to have withdrawal symptoms! At least you had fun searching for your dream home.
Sorry this one didn't work out. The good thing is you are happy to be where you are and are also open to moving if that's what you feel is right. I think sometimes we can get so caught up in wanting something different, we actually miss God saying No to us (or wait).
Great to hear from you again.
I'm tempted to go back and see just how many pictures you have of Anne putting something into her mouth:-)
Just wait a while longer and then you won't be needing such a big house anyway, the kids will all have flown the nest and you'll be able to afford the one you really want!!!:-)
