Happy, Then Sad

Some of you know the problem we encountered recently with our home purchase. The appraisal came in a little low, so we had to go back to the bank and ask if they would take that for a purchase price. We waited impatiently while they reviewed the appraisal and did all their paperwork.

Yesterday my dad (our WONDERFUL realtor!) called and said that the bank had agreed to the new price, but asked us to pay $1,000 in closing costs (initially they were going to pay all closing costs). We agreed and thought all was done.

Today, however, my dad got an e-mail from the bank basically saying that they changed their minds and would like us to pay all closing costs. It appears that this will kill the deal. We're super, super bummed. Nothing new has come on the market in our price range that would work for us, and everything we were looking at at the time has sold. We've given notice on our apartment, we've got boxes all over the house and we have no clue what to do now.

"God shows his power in redemption, not prevention." Lord, please redeem this situation!
