The moment I have waited for for a couple of months now has finally arrived. God, in His perfect timing, has sent a buyer and my house is now "under contract". I was begining to think this day would not come, although in this housing market and economy it came relatively quickly compared to most, and I feel blessed.
Lessons Learned:
PATIENCE- I have never been known for patience, although I pray for it daily, but God has shown me that if I would take a breath and patiently wait for Him to work or lead, I would be much better off. What has seemed an eternity to me, has actually been amazingly fast by most people's standards and by real estate standard's it truly is a miracle to be under contract this fast.
In all things- PRAY!- I have worried through every step of the process- would my house sell? would Emma get to move before school? Would my house pass an inspection? Would we find a house we like? Would we be able to live in a nice area?...on and on and on. After much worry and stress I finally began to pray through it and turn it over to God. - God, please send a buyer soon. God, please let Emma get settled before school. God, please lead us to a nice area and let us find a house we can afford. God, guide the inspector and help him only see the good things in about our house (haha...although I did pray that) and as usual I learned that God's ways are not ours and if we just trust Him it will all work out for good!
FOLLOW- I like to lead and be in control of things in my life and it is hard for me to step back and admit that I have no idea what to do and just let myself follow, but I have discovered throughout this process that if I just follow and let God lead, the path is so much easier!
I have learned so many more things that I can't even put in here, but things seem to be working out for the best. We have a buyer that appears to have things together so we believe it is going to close on time. We have found a home, in a very nice area, that was on the market when we first started looking up there and we thought it would be sold by now, but they were waiting on a house in Florida to be finished and so here we are with it under contract. Emma is going to get to go to a nice school I believe and we will be able to get settled before school starts so she will hopefully get to know some kids before she goes. God has blessed us so far throughout this time and I hope He continues to bless us as we seek to follow Him down this new path in our life.
"Praise God from whom all blessings flow, Praise Him all creatures here below, Praise Him above the heavenly host, Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost- Amen!"
