A Joyful Keeper

See this front porch? We’re trying to buy it. And the house that goes with it. And the 14 acres that go with that!

Yes, we’ve found our little farm, after a lot of searching. I haven’t been blogging about our search, but I have been praying about it. We looked at a few other houses, never thinking we could afford acreage. But our family’s hearts’ desire was to have a little homestead. (I know I’ve mentioned this before in some of my posts, like THIS one.) I thought we’d have to wait a few more years till we found something. Most things we looked at were just way out of our price range. Until we found this place.

We never wrote a list of what we “wanted”. But it was there in our heads, and we had discussed it with others. This farm has it all! Without asking Him for the specifics, God has given it to us! Here is what our list would have been, if we had made it:

An old house on acreage

A veggie garden

Fruit trees

Chook yard

Lots of sheds

This place is all and more than what we dreamed of! It will be a little tight in the house, but with 14 acres around it we should be able to manage!

Here is the view from the kitchen window. There is no dishwasher, so I’ll be enjoying this view a lot!

We put in an offer and it was accepted, so we are now at the money stage - sorting out the bank, etc. If all goes well, we should be able to move in the middle of November. I can have chooks…. and sheep…. and cows….. and cats… and dogs….. ah, thank You Lord! Alhamdulillah!
