Go Big or Go Home?

My husband and I love our home that is so often described of as "cozy," "cute," or a "cottage." It's our 1000 square feet tucked in a quiet neighborhood in the middle of Tucson. It definitely allows us the discipline of limiting our acquiring of "stuff" because, frankly, there is no room. It is quiet, relaxed, and right next to a great walking, running, cycling path on the mighty Rillito River (or as in Arizona, we know rivers as a big dusty ditch).

And then there is the option to buy a bigger house, over double the size of our house, smack dab in the middle of the Foothills, becoming more available to ministry. Needs a lot of updating, but it is geographically central to the direct ministry that I do, which means that there is a high likelihood that Ashley and I will never be in want of company.

So what's a girl to do?
