After 2 days of offer, counter offer, counter offer, and counter offer, we finally reached an agreement! The sellers have agreed to pay 4% in closing costs, give us all the current furniture in the house, provide a 1 year home warranty, and pay our first months mortgage (long story)! We agreed to a May 16th closing date. Not ideal for us, but we took yet another LoF and decided that we can trust God to take care of us and help us get good things!
Now we have lots to do of course. The inspection, locking our interest rate, saving money, going on vacation on Saturday! So busy!
But in all actuality, I feel blessed beyond belief! Last year during LoF we prayed really hard for a baby and the possibility of buying a house. We got neither. Going into this year, we were both hesitant to continue to pray for these things. We have been praying for these things for 3+ years and have felt again and again that we were walking into a wall. However, as our LoF daily bible guide has reminded us, God loves us and wants good things for us. This is evidence of that.
Of course this all pending inspection, but we can have faith that it will go alright! If you are the praying kind, feel free to pray with us. If you are not, we will let you know how it all turns out!
Until Friday (when we complete the inspection),
WE HAVE A HOUSE!!!
this is awesome! i'm so glad you didn't give up and kept praying. i'll be praying the inspection goes well! have an wonderful vacation.
