What a Miracle!

We sold our house. Well, we have a contract from someone who has already secured a loan, so we're very close to selling our house. Considering we are in a market where things have totally tanked and it's December, we're delighted. Houses simply are not showing and definitely not selling. Our agent told us in no uncertain terms that if we hadn't sold our house by Thanksgiving, we could totally forget it until March.

The only problem is, March didn't really work with our timeline. So, we refused to believe that was true. Instead, we committed to praying and fasting for a period of time until the house sold. We invited others to pray and we waited in anticipation of what God was going to do. Well, we didn't have to wait long. Praise the Lord!

Now, comes the fun of purging. We have no new housing secured, and we have 32 days to be out of our current house. 32 days that include the weeks of Christmas and New Years. This oughta be an adventure! The thought of what an adventure it will be is exactly why I am bright-eyed at 5:30 in the morning. This adrenaline stuff is going to do me in soon! But in the meantime, I'll simply ride the energy wave.

Wow, wow, wow! Could not be more excited for you. What a blessing to not be sweating it out at the deadline, huh? We truly are praying for you as you purge. Was/is there another brownie dinner coming up, or have we moved up to Banana Splits??
