God Is Able

Today in Bible study, the topic was GOD IS ABLE. I totally agree... I have experience this truth over and over again in my life.  Let me give you the most recent example.

For over a year now, I have had this strong impression to buy a place in Danhsui as a Northern Prayer Tower -- NPT.  (These initials can stand for Northern Prayer Tower and Neihu Prayer Tower, which is our first home in Neihu!)  Every available block of time, I'd be out there to look at different apartments for sale.  Up to this October, nothing opened up. And within this year, the prices have gone up.  Nothing seemed affordable.  God is able! 

Since returning from the States in August, I started to look again.  It seemed that every place I liked, I would ask for three days to pray. When I was ready to make an offer, either the place would be "in escrow" or the owner would not accept my "low bid".  Finally back in October of this year, I saw a place which I didn't like. There weren't enough windows and when I went to look, the next door neighbor was singing KTV!  The kitchen was on the balcony and it needed work. I walked away, saying NO WAY.  A month later, it was still on the internet.  So, I prayed, called the real estate agent and made a low bid.  To my utter amazement, my offer was accepted.  Now, how in the world was I going to come up with the money?  God is able! 

In less than 3 weeks, escrow closed.  I found a guy to do the remodeling.  The remodeling finished today.  I still have to touch up the paint job, clean up the place, move furniture in, buy a few appliances, hang curtains (might have to make some first), and organize the household items.  I hope to do this all before we depart for the States.  God is able!

Then I want to open it up for people to spend time there to pray, to have a personal retreat, or whatever God has in mind.

Here are a few pictures. I don't have the final pictures yet because I did not have time to go over there today.  I will run there this Saturday when I run the North! 

The kitchen in the balcony

The peeling paint on the wall with moldy wooden flooring

The Remodeling Process -- The kitchen is gone.
The moldy flooring is gone.
The peeling paint is gone.

Bathroom Horror

The bathtub is gone.
The ugly sticker trimming is gone.

 God is able!  Believe it. Wait until you see the place now! 

Seek Him First!
