It's Official!!

We are financially free to be better stewards of God's blessings!

Lord, You are Trustworthy. You answered our prayers as we trusted in Your plan for our lives (1 Chron 5:20). You are merciful. In you our souls takes refuge in the shadow of your wings (Psalm 57:1). You are Gracious, abounding in Love and faithfulness (Exodus 34:6). You mold us in the character of Jesus. Thank You, Lord for delivering Pete and myself. Thank You Lord, for creating an open door, for us to be better stewards with what You have blessed us with. Thank You for Your mercy and Your grace.

Welcoming in the next chapter of our lives...

Here are the boys' and I. We are taking the "goodbye" pictures to the poway home.

The happy dance:
"Lord, You never let go through every high and every low"

These pictures were taken the day that the home actually closed escrow. It was supposed to close on monday June 15, pushed back by the lender another week, then pushed to Thursday June 25th, then to friday june 26th.

These final days were an exercise in letting go and letting God. We had found a place we'd like to live next, yet would not sign a lease until it was clear that the home's title would transfer to the next owners name. Praise the Lord that the place we hoped to live was "held" for us through the weekend, without a deposit.

finally monday june 29th came. At 11:30AM, the transaction coordinator let me know that the lender's funds were received. By about 3PM, the title transferred and the buyers' realtor dropped by to pick up the keys. We were able to fill 4 car loads to move the remaining stuff from the house, and be gone by 6:30pm. The next day at 9am, the storage units arrived to the next place we'd live and moving began! Thank the Lord, for His perfect plan and His timing.
