God is truly amazing....

Could this be where Jess will be living?????

Last week, Jessica decided she needed to schedule a time to visit Reston, VA to find a place to live. After figuring out what dates she would actually be able to make a trip, we realized that the exact dates she is figuring on going is when Keith will be finishing up his spring break! I mentioned to him I thought it would be a great idea for him to accompany her on this trip. After all, it would be over a 9 hour drive from Upland, Indiana to Reston, Virginia. Plus, for Keith, add another 3.5 hours drive down to Upland to join Jess. I was so excited that he was going to be able to go with her. Something kept gnawing at me that this was really going to be a long drive for such a short time. The other night while discussing my concern with Keith, he asked me to see how much it would cost to fly down there. After checking out several airfare websites, I decided to check on the Southwest one as they have been advertising cheap fares for the month of April. I was able to reserve tickets for them to fly down from Indianapolis to Baltimore (a direct flight) for almost the price of ONE ticket! God is truly amazing in how He has provided for us in the past and continues to provide for us in the present,....just as He has promised He would do. :)

Since they have been planning this trip mainly to check on housing options for Jessica, she has been emailed some resources from a cousin (Katie) that lives in Annandale, VA. Katie emailed her some links to a couple of church websites of young professional groups. They have a "classifieds" section in their newsletter from their young professionals group. In the meantime, she has been in contact with two young ladies that live in a townhouse that would be 5 miles from where Jess works. They are very interested in her and will be meeting with her and Keith on Saturday morning. This would be for a two year old 3-story townhouse with a gas fireplace, a huge kitchen (which the two girls don't cook, but Jess would), a living room and it's already furnished accept for bedroom furniture where Jess would reside. These girls are both Christians and doing some church shopping. They have been visiting different churches in the area. The two girls said they met while playing softball at a church young professionals group. Jessica has talked to mainly the one potential housemate, and she said she "sounds so sweet, Mom." She would like to be living in Reston, if possible. But, if she can't find something there, this certainly would be an option.

We know that just as God has provided this new job for Jess, He will or already has a place picked out for her to live as well. She just needs to find out where that place is! Please continue to pray for her and Keith as they go down April 10-13. Thanks so very much! :)
