In any situation, picking a house out in a short time frame is stressful. But we want much more than just a house to live in, and I'm not talking about some hallmark idea of wanting a "home."
For a church planter, picking a home is as much about the neighborhood as it is the house.
This isn't some effort to say "it takes a village..." As a planter picks a neighborhood, he chooses the initial circles of influence that will host the "invest/invite" relationships that will reach people.
You know, when we listed our house in Bryan we considered the possibility that we might own the house here long after we moved to Tennessee. But, as most of you know, it sold in two weeks (then unsold due to financing problems). When we re-listed it, it sold AGAIN in less than a week!
What I am saying is that from this vantage point, it's difficult to imagine being able to find the right place in just two days, but after seeing God do such amazing things to date, we are confident that God's timing will be obvious!
