This has been a difficult year as I had to sell my comfortable home and look into downsizing. Something I was planning on in about 6-years from now when I semi-retire.
But the Good Lord has other plans for me.
Brief Update
For 4-years I’ve not had a steady job and there always seemed to be enough short term jobs to keep my head financially above water. Recently the well for work temporarily seemed to begin to dry up and knew I had to let go of my comfortable home. So it went on the market and within 1-week it was sold for a little more than asking price. Crazy story behind the events with 4-offers coming in the same day. As it turned out a Christian couple wanted the home for an investment and ended up now owning it.
Answered Prayer
Okay now a somewhat frantic search for another smaller home ensued because a little over 30-day transaction time for my home was needed. For about 2-weeks I looked at a lot of homes and became very disillusioned with what was out there. Now I really felt my faith was being tested as God promises to provide for His children and here I am out in the open with no real place to go and so little time left to find a home. Basically I’m standing alone on just Faith, Trust and Prayer for God to intervene.
This past Monday I saw a home listed that caught my attention basically having what I felt was right for my immediate needs. After seeing the home I felt good about putting in an offer with standard clause of home inspection and mortgage approval. Also I needed a real short closing date that was included in the offer. Surprisingly my offer was accepted.
After home inspection today with not finding any major issues I also received the mortgage approval from the bank and all paper work for home ownership is now being moved into the lawyer’s hands for finalization.
Now some might call this a real lucky event occurring or coincidence but not me. Too many events had to precisely occur in order for this to happen. In other words God’s timing as He planned.
I truly believe God is fulfilling His promise to provide. God is in control. God is not only good but proven faithful as He promised.
