What an Exciting Time it is--An Update!

Thank you for your prayers for us as we are seeking the Lord's will and waiting for Him to reveal it to us. Since our last post, we've found "the" house, made an offer on it, and the offer has been accepted. We signed pre-closing loan paperwork on Friday and the appraisal has been ordered. On Monday it will be inspected. We're set to close by September 30. That is all good news. However, you recall from our earlier post that we have to be out of the home we're renting on September 19. So it is our prayer that the process will speed along more rapidly than usual (by God's hand, in fact) and that we can close and move out of this rental and into the new home without any problem. On the other hand, if God's grace is simply that He's found us a home but it will take a little doing to get into it, we are grateful for this, too. If this is the case, church friends have offered us a garage in which to store our things and extra bedrooms to sleep in. Once again we're on the edge of excitement waiting to see which way the Lord will take us. Keep praying for this and we'll keep you posted.

Finally, we'll post this picture of our silly cat. If you know cats (or maybe it's just a quirky behavior unique to ours), an area can be free of clutter except for one item and they'll lay on that one item every time. Mitch laid his Bible on the bed today after church and where do you think Callie chose to lay? I guess it doesn't hurt to simply lay on God's Word if you can't stand on it!

This is soooooooo cute!!! I know what you mean about cats laying on stuff you put down. Whenever I sit down on the couch or anything, here comes my big Rocky to sit on me. Glad you guys found a home. Pray that closing goes well and in a timely manner.
