Poison Ivy

In order to build a house, we need land.  We would prefer to find land in the Kansas City Northland, anywhere from Kearney to Weston, so we can continue to attend our church, Liberty Christian Fellowship.  Our real estate agent set up a MLS listing notification for us.  Now  we receive all the new land listings in the Northland. 

While we were in Iowa, land that we were familiar with near Kearney popped up on MLS.  Since we always thought that property would make a great building site, we made a quick dash from our campsite in Iowa to Kearney.  As we were driving, we spoke with our agent.  Unfortunately the land we initially liked was no longer available but other tracts in the same section were listed as well.  We decided to continue our impromptu trip to Kearney and met the listing agent at the property.  While the land was priced right and in a great location, we ultimately ruled it out because the view included large power lines.  So the search continues. We know God will provide the right property for us in His perfect timing.

In the meantime, we have looked at two listings near Smithville, another one around Kearney, and one in Kansas City.  None of them have been quite what we envision for our home.  In our search, we have driven many miles and walked a lot of acres.  For our efforts, all Bill received was a sweet case of poison ivy.  

Lesson Learned: Jeans, boots, and bug spray keep legs happy.
