new flat


I haven't told the story of moving into our new flat yet, partially because I wanted to make sure it would all go through.
About a month ago, I was sitting in starbucks with Tony and we overlooked a flat across the way that was for rent. It had this beautiful circular/corner window that had amazing views of the Royal Mile, so I thought why not. It was a tough number to read, so Tony took a guess at the last few numbers and I left a message for this man named Maxwell. Maxwell didn't call for another week, at which I had entirely forgotten about this place. We set up a time the next day to go through the flat.
This flat is really nice. It has a porter at the front desk, 2 entrances to the flat along with an upstairs/downstairs. Though shotty in some parts, it really is a large, comfortable space. The kitchen is really large, has 2 bedrooms and impressive views.

Without talking details, we not only moved into a larger space, we're paying significantly less than what we had prior to. Maxwell, the owner and one of the more interesting Scots I've met and will talk about him in the future appreciated what Kate and I were doing over here. He was entirely fascinated with the idea of "starting" a new church. Money wasn't an issue to him and thought he'd do what he could to help a young couple out.

The Lord has really really blessed us with this place. It's 20 yards from where Eikon meets and we'll be able to have friends over and small groups in the future.

We continue to be amazed at the stories and clear signals that we're called and meant to be here. This is yet another example of God's continuing faithfulness to the development of this ministry.
