Happy Thursday to you!

Tuesday was DH’s birthday, and the girls and I made him a cake and took it up to his job. He was very surprised. Then I took the girls and we went to Nana & Papa’s for lunch. They, & the girls, enjoyed it. Natalie’s been a ring-tailed tooter the last several days. I’m wondering if it’s just because of the new class and all. We’ll see how long it lasts.

Last night we had an appointment with our mortgage broker to get all the official paperwork started. Of course, now it looks like the initial contract on our house is going to fall-through. All the questions that Todd asked the buyer’s mortgage broker last week, the lender is finally answering. Turns out the mortgage broker didn’t have a clue what he was talking about, and is charging an extreme number of fees, and that guy really didn’t have the $$ for the down payment either! What a mess! DH is really down about it all. Last night he told me that he didn’t have my eternal optimism. I guess I’m to the point that God has been leading me to. I have turned this all over to Him. We think we have found a good deal, and think that we know what’s best, but if it is not in God’s plan for us, then I have to trust that he has something better waiting for us down the road, or that there is a lesson to be learned. Don’t get me wrong. I REALLY want to move into a bigger house, and the one we’ve found is pretty nice, but I have faith that God is in control. If this was not the right buyer for our house, then I know He will bring another one. I’ve known for several months that WE could not sell our house. There are too many other ones for sale right now. God has to sell our house. If it sells at a good price it will be God. We just have to learn to stop trying to force His hand. Sigh Such a hard lesson to learn.

Please continue to pray for us!

Until next time….
