Impossible Prayer...Answered!


30 minutes ago I got a call from Griff that our offer was accepted and we are going to be homeowners! This is our new home. It's a beautiful ranch home with three bedrooms, two full baths, a four seasons room out back, a wonderful stone patio outside, a great sized yard for playing kickball, a great driveway for one day riding a tricycle, a full basement, and it has lots of mature trees to provide lots of shade on hot summer days. It is more than we could have asked or imagined! Lord willing, we will close on August 24th, pending the inspection and appraisal come back okay. This home also puts Griff 10-15 minutes closer to his job!

Please pray with us that the inspection and appraisal will come back great and that we can indeed close on this home August 24th. And please pray for endurance in the coming months. We get the home August 24th. Freshmen arrive on campus Tuesday, August 25th. Classes started the following week and thus the whirlwind of the school year begins.

More photos to come but thank you all for your prayers through this housing situation. God is so wonderful. Oh, and all of this on Griff's 24th birthday! I told him he will probably never get a larger birthday gift and I may as well take back what Riley and I got him. He said, there was no need for that. :-)
