The Rural Church

These are the day-to-day thoughts from Pastor Jeff Lawson. I pastor a Christian and Missionary Alliance Church in Battle Lake, MN. This blog will hopefully help everyone who desires to pastor a church in a rural setting...

Moving day... AGAIN!!!

We moved again yesterday. We had been living in a small two bedroom apartment in Madrid, IA waiting for our house to sell so that we could buy something in Boone. Four months later we still have no bites on the house. Financially it is killing us. Making $1,400 monthly house payments on top of rent is crazy! The church was kind enough to allow us to move into the parsonage for the winter. Regardless of whether the house sells or not, we will remain there through the winter.

Our house in Hawley is brand new. It is a five bedroom home in a great neighborhood. We were really spoiled there. Let me just say, this house in Boone is not like what we had in Hawley. Don't get me wrong, no complaints here. I am so thankful that I live close to the church now. It will be much easier to help Cindy along now that I am close. It was also very nice to walk to church this morning. It will mean though that the boys will have to drive each day to Madrid to go to school. Pray with me for their safety. Also continue to pray that our home in Hawley will sell!!!
