FUTURE ?! WHERE ?!

We still feel it is God's will and blessing for our family to work and serve with OM and be involved with the whole family as much as possible.

That is one of the reasons we had to think through our situation and moving plans to a small village close to a big town where there is a hospital for Tundi to work.
We hoped and felt it would make it possible for Tamas to keep on with OM (and for our family occasionally). And give us family time once Tundi starts to work again (she must go to hospital for at least 4 years more and the ones in Budapest are 2 x 1-1.5 hours away to travel in the busy capital - that would not leave too much time for us as a family and for Tabi to have a mother).
But as things happened we felt that moving away would put a too big mark on our Christian life - further from the 'center', the 'possible fire' and all that could inspire us to serve, work and live more and more for Christ not for ourselves... We are just not strong enough to pull ourselves it seems - we need the blessings of this international family of God - at least speaking for myself (Tamas says he feels the same).

The other reason is finances. It is very difficult to get sg for lower price and even if yes, it is difficult to pay up the great loan that is needed for that. Income does not leave much room for extra expenses, extra job is difficult and not paying much, saving on luxury is not much (for we have only one car, smaller flat... ) so we do not think we can build a house for ourselves at this stage. That means we need to get an old one or buy a flat only. (But later selling an old and renewed house in Hungary seems to be very difficult - only the new ones go well - in case we need to move on). We do not feel staying in Erd for a lifetime. Needs much wisdom if we have no clue of our further future (work, ministry, living place...) and very much God's guidance and listening Him very carefully...

So we are trying to buy a flat that has a tiny garden area if possible for Tabi to be able to play outside.

Please, pray for our plans, God's guidance, protection, and blessings on all these. Thanks!
