oh to live this...

"...the faith that surmounts the evidence and is able to warm itself at the fire of God's love, instead of having to steal love and self-acceptance from other sources, is actually the root of holiness..."

Song lyrics that I love.....

"Rid me of myself, I belong to you....lead me to the cross"
"Your Name brings life more than the air I breathe"
"You make everything glorious and I am Yours.....what does that make me?"

Lest I ever forget

The day finally came...1,751 days have passed....but I will count the days no more.  My God has delivered me.

We have been given a cash offer  on our Ramble house...the noose that has so entangled us fo so long has been loosed...thanks be to God Almighty.

The God-incidences have to be counted"
  • The house, being presently leased, was not on the market...
  • The economy?  worst ever for the housing market..
  • The house was shown and sold by a personal friend of Adrianne's...a young, fresh out of college Christian man....(doesn't have the 30+ years of the oh so lazy Realtor)
  • We volunteered to pay him a commission if he sold it before June 1 when it went back on the market (He got the offer 2 weeks before the deadline)
  • The "normal" fee is 6%...He asked only for 4%.
  • The potential Buyers offered cash...no need for a Bank's approval...
  • The offer is contingent upon the sale of their home...WHICH...has already been approved.
  • The offer is very close to our asking price....many homes in the neighborhood are in foreclosure or selling for $100,000's below the asking price.
  • The offer came in just days after the Leasing Office gave us a pricey list of repairs or upgrades they "think" we should make..ummm? No!
  • The potential Buyers LOVE the home....an answer to my specific prayers.
No, I shall not forget this day.  I will not forget that I had nothing to do with this sale other than I pleaded with my God daily...for 4+ years to do it.  He did it...in a depressed economy when we least expected it.

So...I will no longer pay for:
  • new bark mulch 2x/year
  • annual taxes
  • Home Owner Assoc. dues (that are THROUGH THE ROOF)
  • annual changing out of the filters
  • Chem Lawn
  • new trees
  • Spring/Fall opening/closing of the irrigation system
  • the difference in the amount the Renters pay and the amount we owe
  • ANY more repairs (imposed upon us by Renter's)
I will no longer care if there are Renters.
I will no longer wonder we will own it forever.

No, I wish I could say I trusted the Lord fully...but my faith wavered...and I whined and complained and wondered...more often than I care to admit...and I am sorry I did not believe You Lord would supply all my needs.  But ...You did...utterly and completely.

Thank you.
The magnificent "backside"...my favorite view!

Spring is the best time of year

As new Home Owners...not yet tainted by the years of "waiting and paying"


Our last Christmas here.....
Good Bye House...YOU were a royal pain the a--!
