please pray

Well, we have some news, a bit old and a bit new.  This past week, my mom put her house on the market in Missouri in hopes of selling it and moving up here to Michigan to be near to us.  We were hopeful it would sell but cautiously optimistic really.  Well, within 3 days, there were 3 offers at full price and one for cash!!  In today’s market, we were shocked and in awe of God!  Apparently He wanted the house to sell and was gracious to bring it about quickly. So mom accepted an offer and we are now waiting to close on it. Prayer request #1 then is that the closing would happen without a hitch.

 

This then put us into a spin of sorts, realizing that we now needed to get Mom a house up here in Michigan. So for the last 4 or 5 days, we’ve been hunting. We have a great real estate agent working with us and he is a believer too which sweetens the deal!  Last night Joel looked at a house with our agent and it seems to be perfect for Mom. Not a perfect house mind you but suitable to what she needs without lots of major repairs.   We are putting in an offer this morning!  So prayer request #2 is that God would work out the details if this is His house for Mom and that we can rest in Him and His timing in it all. 


It’s been interesting doing this from 2 different states and Mom has been very trusting of us!! 

 

Thanks for praying!
