where to begin?

how about three months ago when Jason took a new job that would have us relocating closer to my family. we were very excited to have the kids closer to some grandparents and to have him use his degree as an AD/Asst. Principal. the week following him accepting the job we listed our house and began the search for a new home. we have had some lookers over the past three but most people have chosen a different home. due to not getting any offers we decided that we would just rent ours out if it didn't sell before we found a new home. fast forward to last monday when we put an offer on a home and started the bidding war. the home was everything we wanted but never thought we could afford this time around but we gave it a try. we put an offer in and they countered back better than we could have asked for. we countered back and hope that they would counter back at a particular figure. without either Jason or I knowing we had decided independently that if they countered back at said figure we would take the offer. AMAZINGLY they countered back at what we had hoped so we TOOK IT! last friday we purchased our new home not knowing HOW the Lord would take care of us but KNOWING that he would. now this monday I spoke to our listing agent because our house had been shown over the weekend and I couldn't wait to hear how it went. the gentleman who looked at it liked it the best. we decided to entice him to choose our home by dropping the price for him alone for this week only. he bit and looked at it again on monday evening. yesterday evening we received an offer...very low offer so we countered back and are eagerly awaiting to see what he does with our offer. our realtor and his say that he really wants the house but wants to play the bidding game. we will see how Heavenly Father works this out and in the meantime we will just begin packing since we are moving a week before christmas.

moral of this post:

trust in the Lord and he will never fail you in your time of need

oh, here is a picture of our new HOME
