When God Says Move…You Sell Your House

So yes that’s a rather yuk-yuk pun. Just giving a little update as to the latest in the saga called my life. Oh, and don’t take that the wrong way, it was only ment in a rather sarcastic way. So on with it…I received my first offer on my house. It really isn’t what I’m hoping to get. The reality is if I was desperate I might take it, however that is not the case. I just can’t accept an offer that won’t give me the ability to actually make the move to Michigan. I know that it all needs to be left in God’s hands, and I’m not the greatest salesman, however I don’t really agree that I should intentionally take a hit on the sale and put God to the test. Frankly, we have been commanded not to put God to the test. In a way I guess the wait still continues. I’m planning on contact the first couple that looked at the house, to at least let them know that an offer has come in on the house. I might also try and contact this other couple from church that I’ve heard are looking for a house. I really just need to get a couple thousand more for the house and that would pretty much take care of all the expenses involved with moving. Well, it’s another late one so I’m going to leave things here for now.

    When The Well Runs Dry…

    ByTim Nolte
    That title actually has a couple of meaning this morning. As I drove myself to work this morning it kind of hit how spiritually dry I feel today. This comes from the lack of reading and morning quite time I’ve had for most of the week. Oh how I long for those days of having a couple hours before I head off to work to enjoy the morning and spend some time in the word. And to the times I had to read a chapter in a good book before I drifted off to sleep. These are things I’m really hoping to get back in my routine. It’s basically come to light that I am a total creature of habit/routine. Once I can get into…

    Working From Rest, Productivity At It’s Best

    ByTim Nolte
    “Man’s blessing didn’t come from what he produced, rather, what he produced stemmed from his blessing. Let that blessing fuel your work, so that striving ceases and what you produce comes out of a place of rest.” – SELAH | Defining Rest In The Age Of Productivity The start of this study reminded me of the Life Shapes, specifically the Semi-Circle. There has been a lot of proof that in order to perform at our best we need adequate rest. What that rest looks like can be different for everyone. We are all charged back up in different ways depending on our personalities. Nonetheless, we all need to be charged up to tackle what’s before us. Even as a runner, I’ve seen first hand what…

  • Quick For Now…Best Birthday Ever!

    ByTim Nolte
    So, before I hit the sack. I just have to thank the most amazing women in the world [Vanessa ;-)] for the most amazing birthday ever. OK, so some of you are thinking “it’s not your birthday yet” well, we celebrated early because we’ve got our dance class on Tuesday. Today was an awesome day! Vanessa gave me a season of Seinfeld on DVD and a disc golf bag. She took me out for dinner at a great place called Rose’s on Reeds Lake, and we had some wood-fired pizza, it was excellent. After dinner we headed over to a theatre to see an improv group (River City Improv). We had a load of laughs. Well, I’ll have to get into more later. I don’t…

  • Oh, Let The Words Be Few…Please

    ByTim Nolte
    So, Sunday I didn’t get a blog entry written. I was lazy. And now I’ve got a ton to write. Of course here we are again sitting at 11:45, just cant’t beat the night owl. Too bad the world doesn’t run at night. Boy if I had a job here that required me to work night with people in China that would be perfect. I guess I wouldn’t have much of a life here but I sure like the hours. Ok, so Sunday began the study group on Life Shapes. We’re taking this from the book “A Passionate Life”. We’re not going to be reading the book together. The aim of the group is to talk about the Life Shapes and how to actually put…

    First Day in Sierra Leone

    ByTim Nolte
    I had a great night’s sleep at the hotel. Where we are staying there are multiple buildings of rooms. Each of us has our own room and bathroom. I was honestly blown away with the accommodations. As I mentioned to my wife, I was humbled by the accommodations compared to living conditions we passed by on our drive to the hotel the previous evening. After breakfast, which included eggs, toast, fruit, and a hotdog, we loaded up in the World Hope vehicles on our way to Kethirie for church. It was so amazing to experience worship with the people of Kathirie and listen to the pastor and children’s ministry teacher give messages. What impacted my the most was seeing the people of Kathirie giving offerings…

  • Where Have All The Posts Gone?

    ByTim Nolte
    So it would seem that I really lost touch with my blog. I wouldn’t be surprised if no reads the thing anymore, although I do know that some have you have bugged me about it. So what’s my excuse? Life. Yeah, I know that’s a poor excuse but I’ve been bust working away trying to do what I need to do if this move is going to happen. Don’t misunderstand me here…my desire is that God be in total control of all the details, but I am responsible for looking for a job, and doing my part for the sale of my house. Well, here’s a brief recap of the past couple of weeks. Over Memorial weekend I headed down to Le Sueur for my…

  1. first of all: way to say “yuk-yuk pun.” that was amazazing

    Secondly: I’m sure God will work all this out for what’s best in your life. I can see you are really relying on Him and trying to follow His will. I’m praying for you Tim.

    I don’t know what to say about the news that you are moving to MI. I guess the last time we heard from you we found out about Vanessa and now you are thinking about moving where she is.
    You know what Tim, when the Lord puts a desire in your heart, he will take care of the rest. We like to see things moving fast, but I warn you, be very pacient because sometimes it takes time. But, we are glad to know what is happening with you so we can pray for your plans and for God’s will to be clearly shown to you.
    By the way, we saw Vanessa’s pictures. She’s pretty. Maybe someday we can see you and meet her. Tim, you are a great guy and you deserve a wonderful woman in your life. We hope things work out for good. Write back and let us know how are things going with work and the sell of the house.
    See ya,
    Flor
