We have been looking for a bigger house for the better part of a year. We gave up at the end of the summer because we couldn't find anything we could afford that wasn't horrible. We had pretty much given up hope.
A little back story.
Our neighbors that lived beside us when we moved in put their house on the market last spring. No one was interested so they had let his brother move in on contract. Well a few weeks ago he tells Matt that they were moving out. I immediately thought about how awesome it would be if we could live there. Said a few quiet prayers here and there.
Fast forward to Tuesday.
The owner came back to tend to the house. Matt and I were outside and they were loading tomatoes into his suv. They came over and offered us some. We talked about the house and she commented that she didn't know what she was going to do. I made a "joke" that if they ever wanted to rent it let me know. Her eyes lit up and she took me on a tour of the house. It is a 3 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath, big kitchen and living room, tons of closets, the whole yard is fenced in, and has a heated "mancave" behind the large garage. Tonight we signed the papers to rent it at the same amount that we are paying now. :) He said we were the answer to his prayers as well. He said he hates tomatoes and never touches them but went behind the house to pick them on a whim. That's when they offered them to us and the ball was rolling. Amazing how God works.
Now we just need an electric stove and a refrigerator. I am trying to stay positive, but we are soooooo tight on money that the next 2 paychecks are already spent. I have no idea where they are going to come from. I'm praying that God will provide just as he did the house. This is an amazing opportunity for our family. I just pray it all comes together. Pictures to come once we start moving in!!
