Fingers crossed

See this little beauty? This is an investment property that we have had for sale since Oct 2009. Four bedrooms, completely remodeled! Priced at only $61K!
Last year as we prayed about our trip to Guatemala, we decided that our timing would be determined by this house selling. We didnt want to leave with this thing still hanging out there. As time passed and passed and the house still did not sell, we started wondering if we should wait for it to sell and take that as a sign it was time to go, or sign up to go and then believe for God to get it sold. It's a tricky thing sometimes trying to figure out if you are suppose to wait on God or if you are suppose to leap out of the boat in faith. Well, as you all know, we decided to leap out of the boat when felt God ushering us to go ahead with our plans. We decided that God will still sell this place in his own timing. We were still REALLY hoping His time was some time before we left. Well, I am happy to report, we got an offer on the house yesterday! It is not official yet and anything can still happen, but we are believing this is it! Finally! My knees were weak listening to the voicemail from the agent saying they had sent an offer! I couldnt believe it! We were just minding our business and Bam! here comes an offer. That's the way God works. When you least expect it, he is going to bless your socks off. Its funny when you wait in faith for God to do something and then when He does, you are still surprised. You shouldnt necessarily be surprised because this is what you were waiting for, but somehow you are still impressed by God coming through. I think that's neat. God knows how to keep the spark alive. Has there been a time when God answered your prayer and you could hardly believe it?
