Praise God! :)

Well, it's very complicated but we almost lost my favorite house yesterday. I'll try and explain. The septic system was shot so they were going to have to get a new one, and Dad offered to pay for half of the new one ($3,000) It ended up that they have a special septic system and it would cost 13,000 to fix instead of 6,000. Soooo the sellers asked dad if we would be willing to pay half of that and we decided no way so basically it came down to weather or not the seller's were willing to pay that much. If they were willing, they had to sign a paper by 12:00 this morning (as in mid-night) if they weren't, then the whole thing would be off and we would have to keep...on....looking. Yipes. We all prayed like crazy yesterday and last night. It was 10:00 and we still hadn't heard anything. It pretty much seemed like it was all over (I mean who would wait to sign some paper till late at night) but I decided I was going to trust God and believe that he has this thing all planned out for our family no matter what happens with the house. He really does. I mean, think about it... it's silly of us to worry about things when God already has everything planned out and it is a better plan than we could ever come up with. Seriously. So this morning I woke up and Mom told me the news. The seller's had signed the paper (get this) at 11:55 last night. :) They literally waited till the last minute. Isn't God amazing? So now we are going ahead with buying the house and the settlement (if nothing else goes wrong) is going to be the 20th of July!!!!! And we'll most likely move at the end of Aug. :) I love my savior.

Matthew 6:26-27

"Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"
