caught

today has been an amazing testimony of His perfect timing. my parents have had their house on the market since december. it's now the end of july. several people have seen the house, but noone had made an offer...yet. i went for a walk with my mom on sunday and she told me that my parents would be flying up to alaska to meet with a property management company to talk about renting the house out since it hasn't sold yet and is just sitting there empty. we have all been praying and believing that God has a perfect plan and a perfect time for the house to be sold. yesterday, my parents received an offer! a CASH offer and the buyers wanted to close by the end of the month! we were thrilled, but the offer was low. my parents did some number crunching and countered this morning. the realtor seemed confident the buyers would accept my parents' counter-offer. the buyers countered back. my parents asked the realtor to go back with the same price they had countered with earlier in the morning and state it was the FIRM price on the house. waiting. then, the realtor called my mom and said the woman was coming over in the afternoon to sign my parents' final offer!!! WHAT?! yep. sold. they close on the house at the end of next week. a house that has been on the market for 7 months gets sold in less than 24 hours...and that isn't even the best part. my mom had been thinking earlier in the week about this trip to alaska...knowing it would be her last...and feeling slightly disappointed that this trip wouldn't be to close on their house. but look what God did! not only is the house finally going to sell, but my mom gets to sign the papers while she's in Alaska. how completely perfect and awesome is God's timing?! i feel caught in a flood of His blessing for this (and other things which i'll blog about later) and it's incredible. oh how He loves.
