We Just Accepted An Offer On Our House!!!

Today is the day we've been waiting for for so long! This morning Mark was outside watering some flowers when our realtor pulled up in our driveway. We were waiting for word on our showing last night and usually we hear by phone or e-mail so seeing him in the driveway was a good sign. He got out and asked if we'd like to discuss the offer we had! The offer was great except that they included their closing costs for us to pay. It sounds like our house is toward the high end of what they were looking at, so we decided to accept the offer even though we will have to bring money in to pay off our mortgage. The money isn't even important to us at this point, we just want to sell this house and we don't want to take the chance of losing this buyer. By accepting the offer as is we have a done deal.
The best thing is that this buyer doesn't have a house of their own so there is no contingency on the offer. We will close within a month from now and they will move in two weeks after close. That means we have six weeks or less left of living here. Wow, it's hard to believe but it's so great!

We know that this is God's answer to our prayers!!! This is such an awesome feeling, God has rewarded us for waiting patiently on Him. We want to give Him all the glory for this, He is our provider! Please pray for these things with us:

- First let's thank and praise Him for sending these buyers to our house.
- Pray that the paperwork and closing will all go smoothly.
- Pray for our transition and all the packing and moving we'll be doing.

Thank you so much for praying with us! Your prayers have been heard and answered on this one! We are so appreciative of your prayer support. We'll keep everyone posted on how things go, lots of changes are in store for us soon!
