Another Housing Update!

The house in Velma's will be our new home! YAY! We sign the contract tomorrow! We are so relieved and thankful that we have a home to go to when our Nooksack house sells. We truly believe that God's favor was shown up on us! The owner of the house, said that he has received so many calls on the house. That there was a gentleman that had looked at it the day before we did. He called the day after we made an offer, to make an offer himself. The owner told him he already had a deal. Then many people have told him that he is selling it way too cheap. He has a friend that builds metal buildings and said he couldn't replace the house and shop for 20k-30k over what we are paying for the house. That isn't including the land, septic, and other things that you need to do. So we were really thrilled to hear that. The couple are still totally happy with the situation.

The Nooksack house has been showing like crazy. Let me be totally honest here, I am very frustrated! I just don't understand what is taking so long. I really thought this house would be the easiest house we have ever had to sell! We had another couple look at it for a 3rd time yesterday. To me its either you like the house or you don't. Don't get me wrong buying a house is a huge decision, but if you like one it shouldn't take you that long to make a decision. Maybe I am totally wrong on that. I do know that God is using this time to grow my faith and trust in Him. I am thankful for the seasons in our lives, b/c it just teaches us to be solely dependent on the Lord. This is totally showing me that no matter what God is my #1 and through it all I will always give Him the praise and glory. Its in God's timing not our timing that things happen! So I am pressing onward! I know that there is a buyer for our home. That God has that in store for us! So we will continue to serve God and praise Him for everything in our lives! We know that each day we are just a day closer to the sale of our house in Nooksack!

I'm thrilled to hear of the house the Lord has provided for you in Velma. Can't wait to see pictures! It's very affirming to hear you got it for such a great price. We'll continue to pray for the sale of your house in Nooksack. Waiting is so hard...as a matter of fact, that was the subject of our Pastor's sermon yesterday! It was about how we, as Christians, should wait for Christ's return with expectation and certainty! How the realization of His return should motive the way we live our lives, day by day.

Keep trusting His timing and perfect will for your life. I'm praying for his peace to cover your heart as you wait.

Love,
Ann
