Worthy of Praise

How awesome is that God of mine?!  So worthy of praise and honor!  

Why am I bragging on Him tonight?  (Not that I need a reason, by any means!)

We found a house and have a signed contract on it!  And not just a house, but the house!  When we put our house on the market, I knew it would sell in His timing and that the right house would be ready for us.  Our house took about 4 months to sell and I knew it was waiting on the right house to be available for us.  But then we started looking. and looking. and looking.  And the right house just wasn't out there.  I knew He was faithful and I just knew He had the right house.  Oh we found houses we liked, but something always went wrong with the deal.  I felt like we were being led down rabbit trail after rabbit trail and was trying to figure out why in the world there were so many roadblocks. We kept asking ourselves "is God putting these here as tests? or is the enemy putting these here as distractions?"  Sometimes that's hard to figure out!  But I just knew God had promised me the right house and I hadn't found it!  

About 2 weeks ago we found a great house in a not so great location.  Its a very cute neighborhood, but not at all where I wanted it to be.  I LOVE where we live now and the convenience of our location.  But the house was great and I couldn't deny that.  So we put in an offer.  The owners, however, had no desire to meet us halfway in the sale of the house.  They wouldn't come off their price, wouldn't agree to anything.  So the night after we did our last counteroffer and were waiting to hear back, we went to see another house I found online.  It is in a neighborhood right around the corner.  It's a much bigger house than most in our price range b/c it is a bank owned foreclosure.  As soon as we walked in, we fell in love.  We knew this was the house!  

So we put in an offer and they countered back and we accepted!  We close on the 30th and couldn't be more excited!

I have driven through that neighborhood on my way home almost every day for over 2 years and always thought "I wish I lived here!"

HE listens!!!!!!!!
