An Offer on a Home

Hey Guess what!
We settled on home on Thurs (which went wonderful our buyer even gave a White House Christmas Ornament!- so sweet) and then we put an offer on a home Fri!

Luke & I went last night to look at more homes (I think we've seen a least 20 now!). We walked in an loved it (except for some of the carpeting that will have to go=) but other than that and fresh paint it seems perfect for both our families. It even backs to parkland. So last night at 8 we meet our realtor Tom (who works with our friend and Care Group leader Dave Dabbondanza) to fill out the paper work. The home is in a "short sale" so we will have to wait and hear back from the bank to see if they accept our offer.

Thanks as always for your prayers in this endeavor. If you would specially pray for a quick and favorable response from the bank. But more importantly for our hearts. We would really like to own this home yet at the same time we want to hold this desire loosely. Trusting in the Lord and in his good plan for us, remembering that this place is not our forever home. And while it seems like this would be the perfect home for us, he knows. We'll keep you updated!

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him,and he will make straight your paths. Prov 3:5-6
