Home Sold!
When we returned from our week at Living in Grace, we were encouraged both personally and in our ministry and support raising preparation. We were quickly brought down by the news that not one person had looked at our house during the week we were gone. We struggled to apply the lessons of the previous week and trust in God’s timing and not give way to anxiety about the house situation.
So, Monday morning was spent in the struggle not to give in to discouragement. By Monday evening, two people had looked at the house and by Tuesday we had an offer! Praise the Lord! Our closing is scheduled for July 15, so please pray that everything will continue to fall into place with that.
With the house selling, our next concern was finding an apartment. We spent about 4 days looking at various apartment options both in person and online. We finally found one that fit all of our criteria – it is close to Steve’s job (cuts his commute time more than half!), convenient to a bus that had a stop in front of his building, has a garage, and the rent is less than our current house payment. Again, praise the Lord!
We are moving to a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment so we are now sorting through our things and trying to get rid of things we don’t need. Our hope is that going through this process now will make the transition to an apartment in Ukraine a little easier.
We love our home and will be sad to leave it. We moved in when we returned from our honeymoon and it has been perfect for us. We have many wonderful memories and we hope the new owners will enjoy it just as much.
