Real Estate Reality


I know I have not been doing a great job of keep updated with my blog but a sweet friend text me this week and said you should blog more! I must say I was a little shocked because I didn't think people read my blog that much! Needless to say, I felt empowered!

I guess I should bring everyone up to speed! Justin and I made an offer on a house and we are absolutely ecstatic! The sellers accepted our offer and now it is a waiting game! We are hoping to close on the house by the end of the month and take possession the middle of NOVEMBER! Words cannot express how blessed I feel!

It dawned on me this morning that we could be settled in our house by Thanksgiving! We will get to celebrate our second holiday season as man and wife in OUR new HOME! This thought overwhelms me! After seeing about 12 different houses when I walked into this it truly felt like home to me! (Yes, my AGD reference!) Please pray that all works out for us!!

Justin and I went to First Wednesday last night at Church of the Highlands and our campus pastor gave a message about God's plan for each of us. How we all come with our own set of blueprints but we must obey God to receive his many blessings! While sitting there listening I leaned over to Justin and said I feel like he is speaking directly to me! We took communion last night and I had a sense of calm come over me. Many people know that I have the patience of dynamite! I surrendered it all to GOD!

I've had to deal with the stresses of a mortgage and all of the paperwork and because of Justin's schedule he is unable to really help. That being said I have worried myself like crazy! I worry that something is going to happen with our mortgage and we are not going to get the house like we hoped! After last night I woke up calm and relieved! If this house and this mortgage is in my 'blueprint' then it will all work out! To God be the GLORY! He is SO good!
