Miracles

You all know how we listed our house for sale a few weeks back?  Well, we had been preparing the house for a couple of months and all of the realtors that we interviewed said that it was very difficult to sell a home right now and we were looking at going about 15 to 20,000 in the hole on the house.  We were also told that it was going to be nearly impossible to sell the house FSBO.  Well, we felt good about listing it ourselves and we felt good about the price we listed it for.  We had been praying over the last couple of months that the Lord would be preparing a family to buy our home from us and that we would be able to sell the home without going backwards in the loan and that we would be able to sell it quickly.  We put the house up for sale at 5:00 p.m. on a friday night, got a call saturday morning and they wanted to see the home on sunday.  We told them that we didn't show on sundays but we would be happy to show the house on monday.  On sunday we fasted that we would be able to sell the home.  On monday the family came and walked through the house and said that they would let us know one way or another.  They left the house and walked out to their car.  They rang the doorbell a few seconds later and said that they didn't need to think about it any longer.  They knew that they wanted to buy the house.  They said that they were pre-approved for about $5,000 less then asking price but they were willing to offer more if we needed it.  We negotiated for $2,000 less than asking price (which still covers our full morgage) and they signed the papers and gave us a deposit.  It was so mind boggling smooth that it is impossible to contribute it to any other factor than the Lord.  We are just humbled and dumbfounded at His mercy and hand in our lives.  Not only does He answer prayers, but he always blows me away when He does.  Austin and I dropped to our knees in gratitude which seemed not nearly good enough.  We wanted to scream it from the housetops!  Anyway, I had to share with you all what an amazing experience it was.  Words can't quite express how I feel but I am so thankful for the gospel that teaches us to pray and fast and trust in the Lord and to rely on Him.  Where would I be without Him?
