I pray you get the house if it is God's will for you, and that you have peace if it isn't!

Update!
Keep praying! It's working! They gave us a close counter offer. (So VERY close!) We are working on getting a plan together to make that possible.
Does anyone know of a good St. Joseph prayer that they have found helpful? Up until now we've been calling on St. Jude! (And he's been doing a great job so far!)We've decided to plead for them to work together on this one.

Thank you for the wonderful prayers and keep 'em coming please!

the latest update!
We accepted their counter offer! I'm so excited I just can't stand it! It's a good thing the weather is terrible, as it is I'm trying not to wear out my phones!

But wait! Don't stop these very effective prayers yet! We need to sell our house ASAP. We are selling at a great price, so we just need a buyer to come along. Then there's all those inspections and paperwork to plow through.

Did I tell you I'm excited?! I know it's not a done deal until we actually move in, but I'm so very excited!

The kids are torn between absolutely thrilled and horror. Mommy has decided she is not going to pack up 7 boxes of toys, a piano, a toy cabinet, a tether ball (I'm not digging that cemented pole out and replanting it!), and...

Woohoo! Great news, Martha! Praying for you to sell your house.

While I can understand some of the other things you're not moving, leaving the piano has me a little .

They do not take lessons and we have a large electric keyboard should the opportunity/desire for lessons come up again.

Oh, you needn't explain...you're so practical I knew you had a reason. I just was teasing...I'm emotionally attached to real pianos.

Oh, I'm so excited for you all!    Selling can be the hardest part, though, so my prayers will continue. Hope to hear great news soon!
