Keep Praying

Things are moving along on the sell of our house in Cabot. They are doing all the inspections, surveys, appraisals, etc. If all continues to go well, we will close in 2 weeks. We're VERY excited about that. It is definitely an answer to prayers.

The greatest part of the whole process has been watching God do some amazing things and take care of us. We blogged about the contract on the house and had some fun with people on Facebook, but that actually led a great family in our church to tell us about a house next door to them that was for sale. The house turned out to be a short sale/foreclosure, which means a GREAT deal. We were going to look at another house in the same neighborhood on Friday of last week, and late Thursday night is when we were told about this house. It has everything we wanted in a house and it is in the neighborhood that we wanted. Needless to say, we got really excited. We would have some awesome neighbors and a house large enough for family and friends to come and visit.

Nothing solid has happened with the home yet, but we are going after it with everything we've got. It's amazing to think that we might be able to gain back the money we lost on our home in Cabot and then some! We're confident that God is moving in this, even if it doesn't work the way we want. We're gonna keep praying and we hope everyone will say a prayer for what God is doing. We're just along for the ride!

BONUS--God blessed us with an extra $1300 on Dana's paycheck. Talk about a BIG surprise. He just keeps showering us with grace and taking great care of us!

Exciting News!

For those of you coming from Facebook...GOTCHA! We knew that 99% of you would think that our exciting news would have to do with babies! For those of you that did, you just need to hold your horses!

Our exciting news is that our house in Cabot is now under contract. The transaction was not pretty and very stressful. We're taking a pretty big hit, but we know that God is going to use it somehow. We're just happy that we're going to be able to move forward with finding a house here and trying to get a little more settled in. Be praying for us as we look and as we try to get as good of a deal as the folks that bought our house.

In other news, Dana started work this week at Ozark East Elementary. Be praying for her as she adjusts to working with elementary aged kids, adjusts to the new environment, and tries to put up with me on the two days a week that she has off!
