House is SOLD!

You are going to love this story. We decided to put our house on the market. No problem right? Well on our 2 streets there are 10 houses for sale every where from 2 yrs old to brand new so it is definitely a BUYERS market right now in L town. The day we listed our house, our realtor got a call from the realtor who is representing the house 3 doors down across the street asking what our listing price was. It turned out it was the exact same price as theirs and that house has been on the market on and off since June so they immediately dropped the price by $15,000. Not only that but there is a brand new house on the other street for only $5,000 higher than ours (bigger and nicer). So here we are in November trying to sell our house having no ministry position to go to just options. A few people come and look at the house but zero offers.

Then one morning Ginny knew some people where going to look at the house. She was tired and didn’t want to clean the house to perfection but she felt God say to her, “Go and clean the house you are going to sell it today.” So instead of going for a nap she cleaned the house and baked cookies (mmm the smell of fresh baked cookies). The people came through and made an offer that day. It was for only $2,000 less than what we were hoping for. Our realtor (who is a Christian) said he felt it was a God thing. We accepted and the subjects came off yesterday. Praise the Lord!

I was thinking about it last night. I have been praying that God would direct us and give us peace about the right church for us. As my thoughts were directed at the selling of our house after only being on the market for a week and a half (the only one to sell so far)…it was like God said, “See I am taking care of you.” I know he’s got a place for us it’s just nice when he speaks and reminds us he’s in total control.
