We've accepted an offer!!

Praise the Lord! While we were in Cinci over the weekend we heard from our Realtor that an offer had come in for our Cambridge home. We did some expected negotiating and settled on a fair price. If all goes well the closing will be August 15th!

We are so thrilled and completely thankful for this new answer to prayer.

It comes at an interesting time: I was just telling friends this weekend that I had finally come to realize that there was no eternal value or loss in a foreclosure or bad credit...I finally was alright with whatever happened. "Who cares if the house forecloses!!!" Certainly these are things we should avoid if possible. But I had felt for the past three years that God wasn't providing for us because the house wouldn't sell or we didn't have the money to cover both rent and mortgage, etc. My mind, and my faith, was stuck within the "rules" and thinking of this world.

I had finally come to the realization that God does not have to work within these "rules". Credit and foreclosures mean NOTHING to Him. He does what He wants, when He wants, whether it works within our timing or not. This housing situation has truly been out of our hands. We have had to simply trust. We've done everything we could to make the house sell and yet, it was in His timing all along.

The Lord has allowed us to be apart of many ministries through our home. He used our home for a group to open a New England House of Prayer...how cool is that?! He used our home to provide housing to several couples in ministry and most recently a couple awaiting return to the mission field. God is so good!! I'm so happy to give Him all the praise and honor and glory for the sell of our home! Please be in prayer during this final process - that it will go smoothly.

We are thrilled that we will NOT be loosing the Cambridge house to foreclosure! Praise the Lord!!
