Let's make a deal

It's funny how everyone plays that game when buying a house. Why can't it be like a store.....Here is the price, pick out what you like and then come and pay what is on the price tag. But I know when I am on the other end, I am going to want to wheel and deel as well.
Anyway....as of 9:30 last night....it's a deal! (As long as the moving company can move us out by Aug 12th). We also need to find a furnished place to stay for up to 6 weeks. The details will work themselves out, I am just greatful to have the thing sold.
God's hand has definitly been involved in this one. We prayed that doors would be open and shut and we would know where we were supposed to go and that definitly happened. (Although Jennifer and I probably really prefered one of those doors stayed open:>) The other big one was why our house was on the market as long as it was. (I know the market is slow right now, and I am biased toward my house, but...) We have had it listed since March and every realtor that came through (over 20 showings) commented that it was a great house and there was little that could be done to improve it. (I watched a lot of HGTV when I was traveling to Tifton and knew 'How to Sell your House', 'Designed to Sell', and all the other how-to shows on staging, decorating, painting, etc for when your house was on the market) Well as it turns out, guess who bought our house? It's a new pastor and his wife that are moving in to town. Perhaps God was saving it for them.
Either way, now it will be a whirlwind of details that need to come together to get us out by the 12th, but I have faith....:)
