Light at the End of the Tunnel

After having a lot more recent activity on our home, we have an offer.  It is not a great offer, but we feel like we will have to take it since we are DONE waiting.  We have a closing date set at Feb 25th, which is so fast.  Our movers are able to make that work so we are going for it.  It is so weird how we sit and wait for things to move along and then BOOM.  Off we go. 

I have been reflecting about how all this is coming about.  When Dave gave me that blessing a few months ago, he said that we would understand why things are going the way they are after it is over.  Now I am starting to understand that.  If these people moving in are "supposed" to be in our house, then they had to get their new job which brings them to Pocatello.  We really were supposed to make an offer on that house in Boise when we did.  That started the domino effect which included us not getting an offer in time for the deadline which put the Cutlers in a position to offer us a rental agreement.  They were able to get their next house lined up thinking we would be renting from them.  Now they are in a position to get out fast.  If we had not made arrangements to rent, we would not be able to move in right away like we plan.  I am a little nervous about the higher debt and bigger payment but I feel peaceful that this is the right choice.

Another thing that I am thinking about is how everything we gain is not ours because we earned it.  I look back in my life and see all the positive things that have happened to me and see that the Lord had a hand in it every step of the way.  I did have to do my part and work hard to get those things accomplished but the thing is, most of it was just handed to me.  Everything is set up for me to just take advantage of and I am so thankful for that.  What did I ever do to deserve such richness?  I am loved.
