GOD'S PROVISION
This morning I prayed that I would get a sale on a new website, and that God would help me with the process, since Christian, our son, just had a baby and is really busy. (He has been such an encouragement and a blessing to me in this area). My hubby, Al ,said he'd help me, and tonight Christian called to tell me that for today only, until midnight, if I requested a new contract with Blue Domain I will get it at half the price. He said they never have sales, but the owner made a New Year's resolution to post on their blog everyday or contracts are half price for that day.....and would you believe it, she did not post today - the same day I prayed for a "sale". How amazing is that!!! Our God is an AWESOME God who hears and answers our prayers when we pray according to His will.
On Thursday we were supposed to close on the little house on Timber Trail Lane, but we could not, because the survey that we were presented with at the closing table was not what we had seen previously (on the old survey) and thought we were purchasing. It turns out that the house is not in the middle of the acre of land, but all the way over on the edge of the property - in fact the boundary cuts right through the driveway, and the shed is on the neighboring lot owned by the seller. After much prayer and negotiating for an easement , we walked away, but since then the seller has had a change of heart and is now willing to sell us an easement of 30ft.
I thank God that our hearts are not set on purchasing the property, but God's will for us. So whatever happens we know Rom:8:28 is true and we can rest in His care for us. God knows what He's doing, and we are so thankful for friends who prayed for us in South Carolina that morning, that anything hidden that we need to know will be revealed, and brought into the light.... and that's exactly what He did! Could you imagine finding that out years later? At least now we can negotiate for more land (the easement or right of use) and nobody will be able to build or put a parking lot in with lights shining into our living room window =)
We'll let you how it turns out, but we're not worried because God's in control.... Besides He gave me a good word that "My people will live in peaceful dwelling places" and I believe He said we'll get this place. It is very peaceful indeed, with a little stream in the front.
