If you think to say a prayer......

We have finally found a house that we are willing to make an offer on.  It is none of the ones I have talked about before.  We went to see it on Friday.  My kids immediately fell in love.  It's 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths.  It has 2 bedrooms and a bath upstairs and the master bed and bath downstairs.  It's only 4 years old and has a great huge kitchen.  The whole downstairs is ceramic tile except the master bedroom.  It is a great house.

Now for the cons, it sits right on a busy highway.  It is much newer and modern than what I was wanting and it doesn't have as much land as we wanted.  It does have enough land just not as much as we have seen.  Now for the big one, they are asking $35,000.00 more than we can do.  However, it has been on the market for , we think, atleast, 2 years.  The realtor took us to it and said to just make an offer they really need to sell it.  So today at 6:30 we are going to make an offer of $35,000.00 less than their asking price.  We can only go up $5,000.00 more.  It is a ridiculous thought that they might take it but we are thinking in this market, you never know.  They have not lived in it in atleast a year.  They were transferred we think to Pennsylvania.  So maybe they will just want out of it.  We have heard that other people have offered them more than our offer and they declined.  All we can do is offer and pray.  God knows just what we need.  We are not stuck on this house.  If they do take it we will definitely know that God's hand was in it because it was way out of our range!!! 

I am writing all of this to say that if you think of us today please pray.  This house hunting thing is wearing to us and we are just ready for it to be over.LOL 

Blessings,

Trixi

I will be praying dear. For the house to be on the market two years, they may be willing to take less to get it off their hands. You just never know!

God's Blessings,
Amy Jo

It sounds good.....

Oh Trixi, I'll be praying that you find out soon and that the horrible waiting won't wear on you too much. I'll definitely be praying for you and yours!! Sometimes I think the waiting is the hardest part! Your attitude of the Lord knowing exactly what you need is fabulous. I know it's hard to remember sometimes, at least for me it is.
Many blessings,
Leigh-Ann

Don't "settle" for less than what you want..........you will be miserable later!!!

Praying God will slam the door if it is not His Will,and He will make things Perfectly Clear if it is His Will!!
