The House Is Under Contract

Someone has put in an offer (which we accepted after a counter offer and another counter offer) on the house, so now it is under contract! Praise God - He has blessed us these last few weeks. His Spirit gave us both such a sense of peace over our decision to lower the price of the house and we knew in our hearts that we could leave this matter in God's loving hands. The price was lowered about 5 minutes when the buyer's realtor called ours to set up a time to view the house. The buyer has come by several times, plus he had his folks come by to see it. Each viewing left Brian and I both with a good feeling. He is a first time home buyer, so he is taking advantage of a Arizona program to help with his down. The sale becoming final is contigent upon that working out, but we are leaving it in God's hands. The buyer doesn't want to take posssession until the end of August - perfect timing for us as Brian's retirement date is August 31st. God is good and he is keeping his hands on our lives! I praise Him for seeing the big picture and taking care of our needs and timing!
