Oklahoma Bound

God took us on a crazy whirlwind weekend in Oklahoma looking for a house! We got in late Thursday night after a nightmare of a day with a 3 hour delay with our flight but we made it. We got up early Friday morning and starting looking at houses! By 5:00pm we were done and had checked out 16 houses! We narrowed our choices down to two houses and put an offer on the first. By Saturday night that one fell through so we were on to the next. Sunday morning we got up early again looked at a few more houses just in case another offer fell through...sure enough by Sunday night our second house offer fell through, so late Sunday night we put another offer on a different house! We figured that we should probably have a few more choices to fall back on just in case this one didn't work out either. So we got up early Monday morning and went and looked at two more houses, one had just been put on the market last Sunday night! Our realtor got a call while we were looking at houses and the counter was not giving us much hope so we moved on. The LAST house we looked at on Monday morning we LOVED and it was the one that had just been put on the market...we didn't waste much time and put an offer in because we were flying out Monday evening and then we waited and waited and waited...15 mins before we passed through security our realtor called and the counter was good...completely what we expected and what we were willing to do! PTL! God was definitely with us on our adventure and we had such peace! We are SO excited about the house especially the big yard for the kids to play! We are probably moving at the end of December...God willing but we'll see! "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what GOD has PREPARED for those who love him." 1 Corinthians 2:9. God has reminded us of how HE loves us and provides for us through other people. My parents came with us and Joel and I DO NOT know how we would have handled this decision without their love, encouragement, discernment, expertise, and support! It was amazing and we KNOW it was one of God's ways of taking care of us! Also, John Mark and Sarah (Joel's brother and his wife) showed up at our hotel with groceries and goodies so we would be able to just come back and relax...another way we KNOW God took care of us! We are so blessed and SO excited for this adventure God is taking us on! "The Lord says, "I will guide you along the BEST pathway for your life." He will advise you and watch over you." Psalm 32:8-9. Thanks Ange for that reminder of TRUTH! We held onto that verse ALL weekend! Blessings!
