Well, the house that we submitted an offer on has not panned out as yet. Their realtor is also their mother and so wants the most for her daughter's family. We submitted a offer on Monday which they "countered", really a slap in the face because they only came down $2K, with a sentimental letter about how "no other home compared to this home" etc.
We have decided to continue looking around the area surrounding our church. If there has been no further action on this home or we have not found anything better in the next two weeks, then we will resubmit another offer on this particular home.
Why the area surrounding our church? Carrie has felt for a while now that she would rather live closer to our growing church community and fostering the developing relationships within the church body. Honestly, it has taken me a longer time giving up the dream of providing Carrie with the perfect house which we could make a home with Carrie staying at home when we start a family. The idea of being closer to church, participating more in church ministry and developing relationships/opening our home up to others has definitely been growing on me.
Please continue to pray for wisdom for both of us as we continue to strive for Godly wisdom in our home search! We think of our friends and family spread across the nation and the world and pray for you all continually!
