House....house...house..

Well the time is coming for us to start packing up the boxes and heading out! ...I can't believe how quickly the time has flown by.  We have been praying and praying for God to give a us buyer for our house.  As of today we still have no offers... :( Working with a real estate company, I am beginning to realize hmmm this housing market really isn't recovering too quickly.  We are still praying about what to do and believe God will show us the best avenue.  The problem in our neighborhood is that there is still room for new construction and the builder is offering a steal on new properties.  I pray that God will send us the right buyer or possibly renter along to help us through this transition.  I know He will provide no matter what happens and He has already proven His faithfulness time and time again.  Proverbs 3:5-6 is the verse I think of every time I begin to get frustrated with the situation.  God opened the door for us to move and get the jobs that we desire, so I have to trust that He will provide in every aspect of our move. 

Although we have not sold our home, God has provided us with a cute little townhome to live in.  We knew going into New Bern that we had a certain financial "cap" we wanted to stay in since we are still working through the house situation.  We looked online and around the area and I just was sooo frustrated because I love my cute little house and nothing we looked at had that homy feeling in our price range.  UNTIL... the management lady said... I think I have a property you might want to look at.  Not knowing the price we agreed to go and I immediately loved it the moment I walked through the door.  It was close to work, looks very similar to our house inside...and most importantly had room for our furniture.  Then the big questions came...can I afford it, and can I bring my dog? Holding my breath I asked the lady and WOW she hit the price point on the head and yes...Phoebe can live there too.  I told Brent this is it...but the price is only if you sign that week...uh oh we had two more months until we move in.  So the lady said typically they wouldn't rent that far in advance, but for some reason that day the landlord agreed to let us sign for June.  I know God's hand was in that situation and will continue to be throughout the rest of our move.  Please keep praying as we make the transition to our new future!
