So I have to tell you how awesome my God is!
We put our house on the market September 6th. I had been praying and continued for it to sell quickly. It was a burden that I just didn't like bearing. We got an offer Thursday, September 13th, it took a while but we finally came to an agreement. I was happy that we didn't have to keep everything spotless. But there were issues with the whole thing and it ended up falling through. I was rather upset about it. But I kept telling myself to trust God. He is faithful to take care of us. Always has and always will be, even if I don't see how it is possible or that I like the way he is doing it. Sunday we had an open house and NO ONE came. I was astonished. And very discouraged. But I kept reminding my self, He will supply for all my needs.
We had a couple showings, but no interest. We had another open house the following Sunday, September 23rd. Saturday night we are very worried and talking about when we need to drop the price. Sunday rolls around and I almost cancelled it because I couldn't find it listed online. I was frustrated with our agent, but tried to remain calm. Went to church and a missionary was there. He spoke about God wanting us to be unsettled, moving as He directs us. Big God moment, I totally need to hear that reminder to trust Him. Our agent showed up for the open house and I told her how I was feeling and she reassured me that it was advertised and she had several people call to confirm it. Okay, I rushed to finish cleaning and we left. Well the only people that came during the open house, were neighbors. But she did get a call that some other people wanted to come see it, but they weren't going to get there until a half hour after the open house. Ugh, slightly frustrated, because two Sundays in a row, I've messed up Abigail's nap for nothing.
After a slightly rough afternoon and evening, we finally put Abigail to bed and go crawl in ours to cuddle up and relax for a few minutes. At some point during that time our agent calls to tell us we have another offer!! We work out all the details and this offer is better than the first one! Wow, God you are good. I couldn't (and can't) stop praising him. Everyone who had been praying for us, I couldn't wait to tell. Still to this day I am so thankful when I think about His wonderful compassion on us. The relief to have the house sold before we move is amazing. Thank you God for your faithfulness and love.
