House Hunting....

This week has quite possibly been one of the most emotionally draining weeks of my life!! There was a MAJOR snow storm last Saturday (the news anchors were calling it a "blizzard") when we were supposed to go look at houses. Needless to say, things got moved to Monday night. We ended up looking at 7 houses on Monday and instantly felt we found the house we wanted to put a bid in on. (I had looked at 5 other houses the week before which were definite no-go's). My fiancee and I placed our bid on Wednesday. Turns out, 2 other people also put a bid in on this house the same day. (Ours was the highest though). The first bidder bowed out, but the second bidder decided they wanted to raise their offer. So, the realtor representing the homeowner called for "highest and best" Friday. We prepared our final bid late last night... If it's God's will, the house will be ours. If it's not, the search will continue.....

Please just pray for our strength and wisdom. I think buying a house is more stressful than getting married/planning a wedding (which I'm also doing right now). Please also pray for my Pastor (Pastor John). He is currently battling cancer, which has spread to his bones. He has been a rock for myself and my family for many years. We're believing for the Lord to heal him!!

Have a great weekend!!
