Okay, here's the update.
Because I am going to Justice House of Prayer in DC for next week, I am signing papers to close tomorrow (Friday) and Adam will officially close on the house with the sellers on Monday!!!!
Wuhoo!!!!!
God is so faithful!
On top of it all, a woman who has been helping us with the loan at our bank told us that she had some friends who were giving away a futon bunk bed, and she asked us if we were interested! To which we immediatly answered "Yes!" I think Adam will organize to pick it up next week. It'll be perfect in the guys' room!
Wow. I have no words. Only a smile, and a "wow." Thank you Lord. The joy and excitement inside of me is barely being contained. God is faithful. He never leaves us on our own.
Faith. Followed by God's unending Faithfulness.
Once again, wow.

Great is Thy Faithfulness, Oh God!
Wow.
After a whole day of calling insurance companies and getting denied for one reason or another, God shone a light through the darkness and we got approved, got a quote, and are having a policy written up for the property!!! YAY!
God is so faithful. We could close on the house as early as Friday. wow. Adam and I are just blown away by the awesomeness of God. At so many points already, this thing seemed like it "just wasn't going to work" according to man's standards. We pushed through though, and wow. God made a way where there was no way in EVERY area of this process.
Praise God. I just can't seem to stop smiling. This faith walk is taking us to whole new levels, but the overwhelming sense of God's faithfulness is on the other side of it. wow. **sigh**
Okay, off to church...

Wasn't this supposed to be easy?
Okay,
So I don't know why but this secret part of my head assumed this process would be easy.
We have been dealing with the bank with loan stuff and wood rot reports and homeowner's insurance. It isn't necessarily difficult, but just seems a little overwhelming. The part that seems the most overwhelming is that there isn't a clear finish line of the work being done. Once we close on the house (which we are hoping is within the next couple of weeks), the work will only be beginning. There will be floors to be put in the entire house, insulation to be put in the attic, walls to put up, lanscaping to do, painting and decorating. Not to mention the little things like finding a refrigerator... And not to mention we have to move out of our current little house and have it cleaned by June 30. Oh yes, and I am going to be out of town June 23-28.
But God is faithful. Adam and I recognize that on this river of the dream God has given us, we are on a rapid right now. We are paddling hard and hanging on to the faith that God is the one who called us into this! :)
Please pray for us. We are a little overwhelmed, but Galatians 6:9 says, "And let us not grow weary while doing good for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart."
