Answers to Prayers!

This is a quick post to let our faithful prayer warriors know how God has answered two of our recent prayer requests.

1. We have a tentative closing date of September 20 on our new house. You may recall that we are supposed to be out of the rental house we're currently living in by September 19. Thanks to the generosity of our church members, we've received incredible offers to store our stuff and stay in extra bedrooms and even lake houses. But God did something even easier! He opened the new house up for us to move into! The seller called us this evening to let us know that he'll be out of town for the next week and that he's already signed the necessary paperwork for the transfer of ownership of the property. Because he also knew our need, he also said we could move in beginning tonight! It's just like God to do something this spectacular and just exactly when we needed it. We were preparing to box everything up, store it in a member's garage, and accept the gracious offer for temporary lodging. But now, we're just going to move everything up the street and into the new house.
2. This past Wednesday Jane interviewed for a first line substitute position at a nearby school. This position is guaranteed eight sub days each month, earns sick time (!), and will usually be the first one called for other sub jobs at the school. She has accepted the position and starts subbing at the school tomorrow. Her first assignment--1st grade! She is very excited to see how this position may work into a full-time teaching position in the future.

Thank you for your faithful prayers. God is so good and we are praising Him for these incredible answers to our prayers.
