Glory to God in the Highest! We are under contract. Yipppeee!
We can't wait to tell you this God-story in person, but I can sum it up with - God is Jehovah Jireh, our Great Provider. Never forget what He has done in your life in the past, and what He continues to do for you. I am holding back tears at His provisions and continual deliverance.
Not one, or two, but three offers came in at record time of four days. Despite our realtor setting expectations of "low activity" for this weekend because of weather and Superbowl, our God is on His timing. Get this: What started out as offers BELOW asking price, escalated into a bidding war and contingencies were removed right and left and all parties were increasing their offers in increments of $1000 until the final offer we accepted - 10K above asking with the most important thing to us: NO appraisal contingency! We close in a month.
We can hardly believe the abundance of this blessing. We are on our knees thanking a mighty God for only miracles He can do on our behalf. My realtor said, you are REALLY REALLY lucky. I was able to say, "No, this is ALL GOD." From his perspective, it's not even the Spring market yet---and a house exactly like ours with the same amenities, 4 doors to the left of us, sold for $45,000 less only 5 months ago. Most single families in this area were going for the same price, and so we felt that we'd price it like a SF and just "wait" since we could. We didn't dream we'd have a bidding war, and we even have a back up offer in the event the one we accepted falls through!
Wow. Such a confirmation to us of God's great power in our lives. He is good. Now, we pray for a property that He wants us to be in, a neighborhood where we're supposed to be planted. And for Soryda, one that is before her due date....oh and a charming house on a culdesac backing to trees with um....half the mortgage. Hey, I'm still asking for big things from a BIG God. I believe.
