Our season ON Covenant Acres Begins!!!

 After much prayer and hard work our journey to Covenant Acres begins!!


Proverbs 29:18  Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

After much studying God's law word on many aspects of our life, we continue to follow the path of obedience to His law! We decided early on that if we were going to shorten our children's learning curve, it would take drastic steps on our part to begin our vision!

This is not for most families........................or is it?


 Our journey would begin with selling our house (1098 sq. ft.) city home and moving into our thirty four foot R.V.  No it will not be an easy task, with three children under seven, most would say it is impossible! But scripture teaches other wise.

Luke 1:37  For with God nothing shall be impossible.

It was through much prayer that we cultivated the vision of taking back farming and bringing reformation to this area of our culture. I will post more on this as we transition to the farm!

Upon sitting down with our realtor and them doing a market analysis of the homes that have sold in our area, everything came back that we would not make very much off of our home. However we sold it way above market value!!! The Lord placed a number on our hearts and that's what we listed it for! In the housing market we are in now, one would think there is no way we would sell our house above market value. Well the house was on the market for eleven days and it sold! After a few minor repairs, we had to wait upon the termite inspection and a home inspection. Neither of the two found and significant problems with the house, which was built in 1962.

  Deuteronomy 28:1-2  And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

God blesses obedience and curses disobedience! Father's must re-evaluate their vision and purpose for their families! Read Deuteronomy for more on this.

Our ceiling should be their footsteps!

Our journey continues.........
