The House Miracle
So I said I'd post the whole house miracle and here it is:
Jer and I had been sorta(and I say that literally) looking for a house, and had looked at a couple for fun. Well we were going to seriously start looking in October of 2006. So anyway, we were driving by his Aunt's house one day and he was going on about how awesome it would be to have it (like he always does), and then said I'm gonna call the realtor and just see what she's(his aunt) asking. So we came and looked. Then we dreamed, I dreamed about the garden, and the kitchen(it's huge, I love it), he dreamed about the shop and all the possibilities, the girls dreamed about their own rooms(no more fighting hooray!! ya right), and Memphis dreamed about eating. LOL. Anyway, so he talked to the bank, the bank was not an option unless we could get the price down a lot because of the interest rate. So he talked about a small business loan, not an option because of the house. Then he talked to his dad to get an idea if his aunt would work with him, and his dad said, and I quote "She won't do you any favors!" So Jer called his cousin (who is in charge of his aunt's estate) and she was excited and started talking to her mom. Well not only did his aunt come down on the price she's selling it to us on contract so we can pay her a lot less interest, and don't have to worry about the closing cost, plus she agreed to let us rent until our house sold. God is so awesome.
So that's buying the house. Now selling our house:
:We put a for sale by owner sign in the front lawn and 3 days later we sold it for the asking price. God provides and there is no way we can take the credit.
The other neat thing is that it is such a witness to Jer's dad and his brothers, they all know his aunt and even the unbelieving uncle said it's God. Isn't that neat. I just love how God even when he blesses us let's us know it's not about us.

That is so Awesome!!! God always seems to work these things out for us when we least expect it. You and Jer really deserve it. You have earned it with all your hard work and prayers and sacrifice. When things go well sometimes we say "I must be God's favorite kid today" You must be God's favorite today.
That's amazing! He is faithful isn't He?
God is good! Yay for you all.
