Thankful!

In December of 2012 we packed up our family and moved from Baltimore city to Petal, MS.  We left Baltimore with our house for sale, believing that God would take care of us as we would have to pay rent in MS and the mortgage on an empty house in MD.  At the time, we had no idea how long we would have to wait until our house in Baltimore would sell.  Had you told us that it would be over 4 years, we would have said that we could not see any humanly possible way that we could do it.

Today, June 6, 2017 the journey of nearly 5 years of prayers and tears has come to an end.  With God’s help and guidance, we endured a house fire, an extremely difficult and costly failed lease/purchase, a frustratingly long eviction process, and numerous repairs from over a thousand miles away.  We are praising God for helping us travel this road and for seeing us through to the end where we have officially sold our house in Baltimore.

I know some may look at this and say that God clearly had not blessed us or that we are foolish for believing in some supernatural being to help us sell a house.  Or us, there is simply no other explanation of how we could have made it 4 years and 7 months with at times paying mortgage and rent, or 2 mortgages all the while paying for repairs, attorney fees, court costs, and living our lives with our 6 kids.  God has met every need that we have had during this time.  It may not have been our plan but it was His plan and for that we are extremely grateful.  This time has taught us that we can make a plan but when our plans completely derail, we only need to look to God for his help because in the end that is really all we will ever truly need.
