While We Waited . . .

Remember last week's post? 

I am utterly amazed at God's goodness and His perfection.  I wrote that post in the early afternoon last Wednesday.  Shortly after, I checked craigslist just to see what was out there, and I saw that there was an acreage for sale by owner. 

We called the homeowner at 4:00 that afternoon and went to see it at about 5:30.  The moment we walked in the door, everything became clear - this was without a doubt where God has had us all along.  Not only is the house everything we need, but God has provided us with many of our "wants" as well.  All new appliances, a master bathroom, a heated garage, 2 acres in a very ideal location . . . and the list goes on.

We signed an agreement on Friday, and are currently in the process of buying this house.  What's also neat is that the homeowners were unexpectedly called by their church to move to New Mexico and are en route even as I write, so having the house sold was a huge blessing to them.  We actually felt as though if they were to stick around the area, we might have become friends.

I'm sure there will be many pictures and further explanation to follow as we begin moving and settling in to this beautiful home.  For now, I just wanted to update everyone on the perfect timing of God and His provision while we were waiting!

Throughout this whole process of moving, we have clung to Proverbs 16:9 - "The mind of man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps."  How thankful we are!
