Proud Home Owners!!!

Well everyone, after the seemingly endless waiting period of maybe yes, maybe no, the final answer is YES! Adam and I closed on our first home yesterday, April, 30, 2009. From the very beginning, we had been praying that God's will would be done with the whole situation, and it was so beautiful to see it work out. Even the lawyer was commenting on how smooth a deal it was. Both parties were very happy, and that is the best way. 

So after going through a mound of papers, we came back to Jim and Gail's to celebrate with pizza and grinder for me. Then we promptly headed up to our house, and began the remodeling process. : ) There was ripping and tearing of carpets, taking down curtains, getting rid of some old stuff left behind, and taking out mini trees out of the garden. Lots of work to be done, but we praise God for all the help that we have. God really made the whole thing happen.

Hi! The whole thing of ripping and replacing sounds very familiar. The house we're in now is the first one we've owned that has NOT required going in and ripping out the (filthy) carpet first thing.

It's so much fun to hear how God is working on your behalf. May your home be His sanctuary, a base for your ministry, a place of joy and peace.

I'm so glad for you!
Dr. C
