God works things out for his good, every time. His timing is ALWAYS perfect and I'm amazed of that again this week. While working on the Kingdom, Luke and I were wondering about our offer on the short sale. Luke and I laughed with each other and said, "Well, we'll hear something on Monday...after the Kingdom!" Well, you guessed it. We heard some news alright. Our offer was not accepted. The sellers made too much money to consider selling the house as a short sale, therefore it would have to undergo foreclosure- which could take 6 months or more. Well, we weren't willing to wait that long!
Our sweet real estate lady Kristen was eager to help us find a house. Well, in God's timing, we did! The same Monday our offer was declined, a For Sale By Owner, popped up on Zillow which Luke discovered late Monday night. On Saturday we went to see this house in Springhill Farms.
This whole house hunting time, I wanted a house to knock me down the minute I walked in the door. I hadn't felt that yet- and had been praying for it daily. Well, all it took was us pulling up to the driveway. I was in love. The owners couldn't have been any nicer!!!
We made an offer later that weekend and it was accepted. It still has to pass appraisal and we'll have an inspection done, but we are set as of now to close at the end of May. This has been a roller coaster ride to say the least. I've had my ups and downs with God- my discussions, tears, and laughter, but all in all, I wouldn't trade this journey for the world. He has shown Luke and I his power, humor, and comfort in a time we have needed it the most. But, most importantly, we've both learned His timing is perfect! God is who He says He is and He can do what He says He will do! We just have to believe in that promise!
