Exciting News!

Keep Praying!!

Well, the Lord sure has His plans. :)

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord,  "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."  Jeremiah 29:11


The past three weeks have been such a whirl-wind, but oh, so good.  After the rug was swept up from under our feet, and we couldn't continue with our travel adventures, we decided to put our house up for sale.  I just couldn't fathom dealing with renters and again, and all the unknowns that come with that.  Some friends of ours had recently shared their moving experience with us, as well as their AWESOME realtor that sold their home. (thanks Wendy!)  When Todd and I decided that we wanted to try and sell the house, I immediately thought of Wendy's realtor.  It is amazing how the providence of God works in our lives......  Every little detail. :)  In less than a week, she had it on the market, with pictures and 4 showings!  Todd followed her advice and painted a couple of rooms that needed updating, that first week as well. (I can still see the cloud of dust from him moving so fast!)

Praise the Lord!  In TWO weeks, our house has a contract!!!  Our hearts' desire was to sell the home last year, but the market was just too weak.  Now, with everything going on, what seemed to be so disappointing, is now giving us a 'hope and a future!"  What peace and comfort we will have as we travel, knowing that we don't have renters, or a mortgage, or insurance or taxes, or repairs, and on and on......

It is such an awesome reminder for me to trust in the Lord.  He knows and is working all things for my good. :)  All the while, I am growing, and sometimes, that means growing PAINS!

Please continue to pray for this process!  The home inspection is Tuesday, and if all goes well, then we will plan to leave, Lord willing, early July. :)

Blessings,
Steph
