But you know that...
What you don't know is that we will be moving in less than two weeks!! The Lord, again, gave to us in abundance! We went house hunting last week and were set up to see about 10 houses. We saw three on Tuesday and found two that we liked alot. We left very encouraged and excited to see if there were any who would win us over on Wednesday. Tuesday night we were staying with our friends Dave and Carrie who live in Greensboro. They were giving us advice on what were the best neighborhoods close to campus, church, etc. While talking Clint took one last look on Craigs List and found one house we hadn't noticed before. The reason we had not noticed it was because of the rather out of our price range rent. We decided to leave the window open on the computer just in case we were desperate on Wednesday.
The next morning we had an appointment at 8:30 to see a 3 BR house in Lake Daniel. This house seemed perfect to us. Walking distance to campus, overlooking a park, 3 BR/2 Bath. Great! We decided we wanted it, but wanted to see a few more just in case. There was one other house that may be perfect, but it was scheduled for the end of our day. Our realtor called and canceled on us as a result of sickness and so we opened the computer to find the address and phone number to the other house that seemed promising. And then we remembered....the pricey, too good to be true house!
We called about it "just to see" and went to pick up the key. When we walked in the "too good to be trueness" grew. It was big, nice, with tons of living space (living room, dining, breakfast room, sunroom!). We loved it (minus the incredibly small, PINK bathroom)! We left, hopeful but trying to guard our hearts, and went to see the last house.
It was a great house, but was 2 BR (we really feel like we need three for visitors...we love visitors!). So we left and went back to the Realty place and threw out an offer for the amazing house.
And....
They said yes! This offer was a little bit ridiculous. They came down 150 dollars a month for us! The realtor told us that she had showed it to tons of people who loved it, but that the onwer wasnt willing to come down on the price.....until that very day!
And so...the Lord does it again! We are so thankful to receive such a sweet gift from Him in this season of transition and newness! Thank you for your prayers! He indeed answered graciously!
