Our House Contract

We decided to sell our house ourselves. We placed an add in the local paper. It appeared in the paper for the first time Saturday morning. By 5:00 Saturday night, we had a signed contract and earnest money to go along with it, and the buyers gave us our asking price for the house. What an incredible provision from God.

The buyers have a contract on their house that is due to close on the 21 of February. Their buyer is already approved for her loan, and she paid 25% down. Our buyers are also already approved for a loan. In fact, the definite possibility exists that we will be without a house before our time at the church comes to an end. If that happens, we know God already figured out the details and will show us.

I packed some books from my office today. I decided to limit myself to two Rubbermaid type tubs. All of the books that fit into those I keep; all the others I sell. Much to my own surprise, all of the books I deemed as absolutely essential fit into one tub. It hurts me, but several books sit on the shelf destined for the garage sale. Oh well, I just get to start a new collection now ; )
