Thanks for Praying!!!

A few days ago, I revisited a house that I had seen in May.  I wasn't crazy about the size of the master bedroom, bath and closets, but liked everything else.  When comparing it to the "not-so-short-sale" house, this house was definitely hands down much more move-in ready.  It's smaller, but a really great size for our family.  There's a pool, a fire pit, a dry bar with a granite top and grill and a basketball half court on the other side of the pool---perfect elements for ministry opps :o)

Jacob saw it on Friday, liked it and we made an offer. We started the dance again and gave our best offer.  Then we went out and met up with some new friends and had a great time together! We got the call from our agent that we got the house!!!

Thank you for praying!!! We prayed for a house with a nice flow and space for ministry opportunities and God provided!!!  We knew we wanted a nice finished basement for a playroom (hello, pool table!) and for overnight guests and God provided!!!  I was wishing and hoping for a beautiful kitchen with more cabinets (!!!) and God provided!!!  I was wishing and hoping we would be able to move in by sometime in September (preferably before Krista's birthday on 9/26!) and God provided!!! I've always wanted space for a baby grand and God provided in more ways than one!!! I love the look of a classic red brick home and God provided!!!

I'll post some pictures once we get through the attorney's review, inspection and sign everything.  Then, reality will hit... we're going to be up to our eyeballs in moving boxes!!!

I love the prayer of Samuel in 2 Samuel 7:28-29 (I am using the Amplified Bible courtesy of Biblegateway.com)...

²⁸ And now, O Lord God, You are God, and Your words are truth, and You have promised this good thing to Your servant.

²⁹ Therefore now let it please You to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue forever before You; for You, O Lord God, have spoken it, and with Your blessing let [his] house be blessed forever.

Amen!!!
