Crazy good
This post was meant for Friday to follow up the Keeper...
So, AFTER the Lord clearly reminded me that He is my Keeper, we had the wildest day on the market our house has ever seen. And it was such fun to step aside calmly with bruised hope to watch goodness unfold.
After our beloved house in Charlotte was on the market for 10 months, we accepted an offer in February and it went under contract for a due diligence period. It has been such a difficult process because we love the home dearly and we are so disheartened for it to sit on the market so long and carry so much weight attached to it. So, we were relieved to be under contract until this past Wednesday the buyers changed their mind and backed out. That lead me to the previously mentioned dark low grumpy day followed by a truly divine day from wake to close.
On Thursday, the house first day back on market, we received not one, not two, but three offers throughout the day. While the first offer was very low, miraculously the second was asking price and the third, above asking. It just kept getting better and better. It was CRAZY. CRAZY good. So after a bit and back and forth all day long and a few different editions of contracts, we signed a contract with a new lovely couple by the end of the day that we feel will be a good place for them and a good sale for us.
How FUN is that? So let go a little and draw near to the Keeper. And I say that even knowing that we still have 30 more days where they can back out, but I believe no matter what, the Lord has reminded me that He sees us.
