No more wondering "Will the house sell?" "Did we miss God's direction?" "Why is this taking so long?" Our house did not sell. Well, actually we had an offer on it but for $20,000 less than the assessed value.
So it came down to crunch time. The boys needed enrolled in school either in Des Moines or Springfield. We absolutely did not want to move them during the school year with Zach entering junior high! So we took a step of faith and made an offer on a house, contacted the principal of the school that we're coming, and signed them up for soccer in Springfield without a buyer for our house. We listed the house for rent and had only days to get a renter to respond to our craigslist ad, view the house, apply, get credit checked, and sign a lease.
We knew that God would have to make things happen that were a long shot. And they did tonight. We have promising renters moving in 18 days! Not that the enemy is through attacking us. I'm sure any day you ask me, I'll tell you how something almost fell through. But God has come through for us! So rejoice with us! And please pray for me as I head to northern India to an orphanage in 3 weeks (Kathleen).
