Sometimes God answers prayers that we didn't even know we had. For that, I am thankful.
We were not planning on putting our Indiana house on the market. We had renters in the house for the last year and a half, and we expected them to sign another 6 month lease, and stay for at least another year, and then DJ and I planned to list the house in Spring 2014.
However, God had different plans for us. We found out in May that our renters were moving out, and we decided to go ahead and list the house for a few months. Thankfully, our realtor was more than willing to only list until July, and then we knew that we had to have renters back in the house by the first of August.
We had several showings, and some of them were promising. and others not so much. We were told that the market was improving, but that home prices had not increased, so we were looking at loosing money or hopefully breaking even.
God has big plans, and two weeks ago, DJ and I signed a sale pending contract on our home. I ams till praying that God will see this through until the closing date scheduled for August 12th, and that everything will work out.
I was honestly, scared to death about listing our home, not finding a renter or buyer, the work that would need to be made after the renters moved out, and carrying a mortgage on our own, along with paying our rent.
But God is faithful to us, and his timing of right now, proved to be better than our timing of next spring.
God has also blessed us with Adalyn who will arrive on July 5th. DJ and I weren't planning on becoming pregnant with our third baby. Last October, we had occasionally discussed that we may want a third child, when Megan was two or three years old, but we definitely were not making plans on having a child so soon.
In November, I found out I was pregnant and my first thought was "Oh Shit". Now, I know that is not a Godly response, but I was so shocked, and all of our plans on buying a boat one day were thrown out the window.
Throughout the last 38 weeks, I have joking called Adalyn our "accident baby" or our "mistake", but I know that she's not God's accidents and that she's not God's mistake. I know that she is going to add to our family and that God has planned her just for us!
I'm so excited to meet our little blessing and to meet the result of the prayer that we didn't even know we were praying for.
Finally, DJ and I were not expecting finances to work in our favor this summer. God always pulls through though and he's found a way to make sure that we are going to not only be able to afford me to be home until September, but that we have the money in our savings account to pay for the closing costs on our house. It was another unexpected blessing, that God knew how much we needed, and he provided.
I know I don't share a lot about my faith on my blog, but I'm so grateful for a providing father. I'm blessed to be his child, and i'm thankful for answered, unanswered, and unexpected prayers.
