My husband and I went through Financial Peace University and learned that our house payment should only be 25-30% of our income. We are spending at least 55%! Way out of the average. So we have decided to sell our beautiful family home that we have come to love. It has been a 8 month process. We put it on the market back in September of 2006. It did not sell so we took it off the market until now. We have repainted most of the rooms and updated some things even though the home is almost 4 years old.

My husband did some fasting and praying last week for direction as there are approximately 8000 homes in our area for sale and the market has been very slow. We are not using a Realtor to save us thousands of dollars. On top of that, we have no place to move to, so this is going to be a miracle of its own.

When my husband was a teenager a special old woman told him how much Jesus loved him and told him how special he was and that God had a plan for his life. Thus, one of the many reasons he is a pastor today. Anywho, she will be 80 years old this year and needs taken care of. We have been visiting her once a week, during a course of a month. On the day he was in prayer and had fasted we had dinner with her and she asked us to move in with her! My husband would love for us to take care of her as she has so many others. She is a jewel. 

Well, to make a long story short, my husband put out a fleece. We are hoping to sell our home by next week. So I covet all of your prayers. I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for us and for this precious woman, Flora. 

Here is a link to the description of our home.
