not SOLD

With very little in the way of an explanation the people who contracted with us to purchase our house back out of the deal. Our house is now back on the market and we are once again trusting the Lord for His timing. Please pray for Sandra and the kids as they are back into "leave the house in a moments notice" mode.

Axle Swap

Ever driven along and then heard a sound coming from your car that you just knew was going to be expensive to fix? That is exactly what happened to me last week. I was driving along and then heard this "clunk, clunk. clunk, bang!" and immediately the truck stopped with a jolt and I could not go forward anymore. I knew at that moment that I had broken the rear axle. This was soon confirmed as I crawled under and saw oil pouring out from the front seal. Yikes! Well, a trip to the junk yard, 5 hours of wrenching, a smashed thumb, three skinned knuckles, and $500 later I am back on the road. My neighbor took the day off to help thus redefining the term "good neighbor" to me. Randy, thanks so much for the loan of your truck and 5 hours of help!

Support Update

Well, here are the figures as of March 16th.
Start-up remaining = $5000
Monthly remaining = $750
We continue to be encouraged by the way things are moving for our transition to Thailand.
I feel like I say this a lot but... Thanks... to all of you who pray and give sacrificially. The military and police families of South East Asia are a great investment.

SOLD

Guess what? God sold our house! And in less than 3 days! That may not seem unusual for some parts of the country, but for Denver that's pretty amazing.

Our House went on the market on Sat. and on Monday there was an offer made. The offer was for the asking price and is a cash deal. We will be moving out on April 24th. Our realtors were amazed... they told us they have quite a few listings and nothing is moving... they are kinda scratching their heads about the whole thing. Paul was able to share with them how we prayed as a family and asked the Lord to sell the house to just the right folks.

We feel so grateful. God is good - not just because he gave us what we asked for - Indeed He is good even when things don't go well. But we are certainly grateful for His movement on our behalf. Sandra Posted by Picasa

Transition

Our kids have been real troopers so far in this season of transition. They have travelled well and delt with the deep cleaning and packing up around our home. Many discussions around the house have to do with moving to Thailand and it has caused the kids to ask all the time when we are actually leaving. I am amazed that they are not falling apart. It is a real reminder to me that home is where our realtionships are and that ultimatley this is not our real home. Please pray for the Bradley kids as they are uprooted from the U.S. and transplanted to a place where they have never been. We are praying that we will find a place in Chiang Mai that has kids their age near by and that they they will establish friendships quickly. Posted by Picasa
