Over Brandon's four years of seminary we were so blessed to live in our cozy and delightful town house. During our time in seminary we met a wonderful agent who sold the home of a family I nannied for. Gloria loves the Lord and loves her clients! Many of you know the story of our house, but the ending is SO AWESOME that I need to recap the story!
1. Live in a great home for 4 years
2. Meet wonderful agent
3. Watch housing market FALL
4. Learn that no houses have sold in our sub-division in a year
5. Brandon becomes Sr. Pastor and will move in less than ONE month
6. Prep house for sale, PRAY, and go on 17 day family road trip (pray BOLDLY that house sells while traveling)
7. Pray through road trip and people look at the house
8. Receive a negative comment from potential buyer about "religious stuff" in the home... we keep praying!
9. Receive great offer on final day of road trip, house under contract within 18 hours at home!!!!!
10. Jump though inspection, appraisal, underwriter etc hoops which are hard in this market!
11. Close on house on September 15th 2009
12. Receive an email from wonderful agent l with this in it on September 16th: "I asked him (them) what they especially liked about the house, and they said that the condition impressed them-how lovely it showed-no clutter-and a presence of Christ. So, the Lord had His hand in this transaction from the very beginning. :) "
13 (an following) WE PRAISE GOD!!!!! All along my prayer has been that this home would be a place ministry until Jesus returns or it falls apart. I also prayed that someone would feel the presence of the Holy Spirit and not even be able to think about a home besides ours. Our great God who is rich in mercy has answered so many prayers in this home sale that I feel it has a testimony of its own!!!!
To God alone be the Glory!!!!
