Sad, Then Happy

The last two days I've meditated a lot on this verse:
Romans 8:28
28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
After Jeff and I got over the initial shock from the deal on Tuesday night, we made a great plan with my dad yesterday. We would come back to the bank offering to pay $1000 in closing costs (all we can do comfortably) and also pursue other houses. Jeff took the baby to look at houses yesterday morning and found one he really liked. Meanwhile, my dad searched listings and came up with the same house. He called the realtor and he said they were closing to offers yesterday at 5, so we got one in just under the wire.

Then this morning the bank e-mailed back on the original house and said they'll officially accept our counter offer. It's allllmost finished and completely in writing. We'll start breathing again at that point.

So anyway, now it looks like we still have the house and (believe it or not!) we might even close on time.

Holy cow. There is so much to do!

"God's power is shown in redemption, not prevention." Thank you, Lord.
