Wow...Time Flies!

It has been just about 3 Months since my last post!! Whew! There really hasn't been a whole lot going on in our lives besides getting ready and starting the holiday season off!! One bigger exciting yet scary thing that has been going on is we put our house on the market a little over a month ago! We started looking around for houses not really expected to find the 'right' house after thinking we were going to build! We we were wrong! We found a house in Wesley with 7.5 acres and almost double the size of ours!! We both have fallin' in love!! We both feel like this house is meant for us. So after lots of praying and laying out the details, we put an offer in! Yikes!! Yes before ours has sold! But we love it and did not want to miss out on it plus we feel confident in ours selling! Negative yet postive think about the house...it is in short sale! Positives: we might get it at a great price and short sales can take a lil while giving time for ours to sell. Negatives: they might counteroffer higher saying we are buying it for too little and the waiting is tough!! I am not gonna lie, Nathaniel and I are a little nervous about our house not selling before everything might fall into place with the new house and the closing date. Don't take us wrong, we are not going into this stupidly, we know we can afford both mortages if it comes to that but we do not want to! I,myself, did lots of praying and talking to God while Nathaniel was gone on his hunting trip and faithfully felt ready to put an offer in. So when he returned home, we had that lovely heart to heart!!! He felt the same way, so in went our offer!! In the meantime, we have had to things with the process that has defiantly tested our faith! A couple things that help me; 1: a fellow teacher at work said you will struggle with it your whole life, but when you lay it down at the cross DO NOT pick it back up!! 2: a lil saying I read awhile back that I say to myself daily "Faith in God includes Faith in his timing"!!! Day by day we anxiously await the phone call saying we have another showing on our house and await at the earliest mid Dec the phone call saying they accepted our offer!! But for now all we can do is Pray, Pray, Pray and Pray some more and put our entire Faith in God and know that what he has planned will happen in his timing!! We have Faith that all of this is meant to be, we just have to remember it will not happen we when say it will but when God says the time is now...which is always the perfect time and in the perfect way!!! In the meantime, if you know of someone who is looking to buy a house send them our way! It is perfect for first time home buyers and is in a great community!
