Rhesa and I have defintely believed from the beginning of this journey, that God was the the God of details. By this I mean that He was taking care of even all of the little things that we did not even see. It has been a blessing to our lives to see how God works everything out. Honestly, I, the planner, was getting a little nervous at times, because I wanted to know how everything was going to work out. Now we come to you with one of the most important details, and in our eyes, a MIRACLE!
As many of you know, we had asked everyone to pray for the sale of our house and our vehicle. My parents decided to purchase our vehicle from us. Praise the LORD. This was a blessing. The only other thing holding us here was the sale of our home. Now this was going to be a feat in itself. The Houston housing market is not that great. Our house had already shown 16 times, and although we had a lot of traffic, we had no one who would leave any suggestions or even make an offer. We were getting very discourged. We knew God had a reason for us still being here, but we could not fully understand. We just kept praying that God's will would be done through it all, and that he would give us patience to wait on Him.
Well, we got word from our realtor that someone had finally made an offer, only this offer was different. As she began to tell us the story, Rhesa and I could not believe it. She told us that there was a family from our church who had approached our pastor and wanted us to be free to do what God was calling us to do. This family was willing to donate the whole amount for our house plus closing costs. They gave the whole amount to the church so that the church could purchase the house and use it as a second parsonage. How amazing is that. That God would speak to this family, and more than that, that this family would choose to be obedient to what God was asking of them. GOD IS GOOD! Now I know that some will try to explain this away, but there is no explaining. The only explanation that there is is GOD! In a society where we say that God does not do miracles anymore, I say , you are not looking in the right places. Miracles happen everyday all around us, we just have to be in tune with HIM. We have to be able to recognize God at work.
We are so excited as we have been able to share this story with some. We have been able to see how God is using what He did to strengthen the faith in others. It's not about us, but completely about God moving in ways that we never imagined.
Our closing is set for the 3oth of June. If everything goes well, and we actually close that day, we will be heading to Dallas to spend some time with my family, then we are off. We have already purchased our tickets and will be leaving the country on the 13th of July. God is good and His timing is perfect!
