We sold our house! We put it on the market on June 1 and on June 10 we had an offer. We close on July 26.
When we signed the papers for the contract, I walked out of the realtor's office with such peace. In the months leading up to putting it on the market I had mixed feelings about the whole thing. I was excited but scared of the unknown too.
My husband said he felt we had chosen the right realtor and I agree. Having never done this before, we didn't know even how to choose one! I got some tips from my former high school senior English teacher who is now in real estate (and someone I trust and respect). She did give me some tips and said I would just know...she was right. I knew he was the right one too when I got this email back from him one day after I told him I guess we were ready to put the house on the market but was nervous about it:
Putting a house on the market can be a little scary, but I trust that it won't be overwhelming. As we follow where we see God leading, He will work it all out!
We are looking for something temporary until we get a definite answer on my husband's job. It is a good possibility he will be changing to a different office within the state. We are very excited about this!
I am excited to share the whole story with you, but it is a story that God is still writing. There are so many little details that have shown me this is totally in God's hands. I have thought so many times of how great a story it is going to be too and can't wait to see how it all ends up. We give all the glory to Him because we cannot do this on our own.
I do have my days when I feel like I can't wait one more possible day without knowing where we will be. But then I get a little word of encouragement from someone and am able to keep going and keep believing it is all going to work out.
If you've noticed the theme of trust, faith, and waiting on many of my verses and songs, this is why! Thank you for your prayers as we wait expectantly for how God will answer our prayers.
Have a day of blessings!
