New Home

Last weekend we went out looking for homes to rent.  Looked at six homes, found one we really liked.  So we filled out the application (at least the page we received).  Susie, our realtor, sent it to the other agent.  Oops, we fill out the second page.  Then he wanted our credit report (free but annoying), then he wanted a letter as to why we wanted the house.  We are at Wednesday.

Wednesday was a poopy at work - too much going on.  So when our friend Kathleen called, I let it go to voice mail.  A while later I listened to her message..... they have a friend who is headed to Stanford Law School and they have a house to rent......  I forwarded the message to Brian, who called Kathleen.  Then he called Lauren.  We decided to do a drive by - check out the house and neighborhood.

While driving over there, Susie called.  Now the first place wants our credit score so he can make a decision Thursday.  One has to pay to get their credit score.  And, ours are horrible.  So I told Susie what was going on.  She said she would pray.

We drove by the house - liked what we saw.  Now the question - do we agree to a house sight unseen?, do we call them?, what about the application that is in??????  So we called Kathleen, who called Lauren. 

Lauren was out with some friends, but Kyle is home, taking a nap.  Our instructions were ring the door bell, the dogs will bark, a minute later ring the door bell again, the barking dogs will wake Kyle up.  Didn't work.  So Brian and Lauren are on the phone with us planning to go get Lauren.  The front door opens with a sleepy Kyle. 

He was so gracious, kept apologizing for the mess.  He showed us the house, answered lots of questions.  We have a home, the details still need to be worked through.  We withdrew our application for the first home all the while thanking God for His grace, mercy and timing.

God is so amazing - three bedrooms, den, great room, three car garage with built in workbench and cabinets, nice kitchen, RV gate, swimming pool, no problem with our dogs, on the golf course, 14 miles closer to work for Vicki!!  Brian is going to jump into a van pool.

Kathleen and Daniel will be our first dinner guests.  We are so thankful for wonderful friends, an amazing Lord and His timing.

God is good.
