It's Official!!

Our house is sold!!!

We started showings last Thursday and they went until yesterday evening at 7. I and the boys vacated the city for the week and were very thankful to spend time relaxing at my parents place. Steve held down the fort because he still had to be at work and had other activities going on. 

We sat down with our Realtor Toni, last night at 7:30 to go over the offers. Steve had talked to her earlier in the day and she had said that there was only one so far which made us nervous about getting all of our conditions (mainly the possession date) met. However when she sat with us she started counting envelopes and there were TEN offers!!! She said that that was normal three or four years ago but these days any more than four offers is astounding! 

We went through all of them and decided on one outstanding one after praying about it and thanking God for being the Provider. I know that He was smiling down on us and saying See - I told you that if you trust Me, I will take care of you!! God definitely stood behind Ephesians 3:20 and did immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine! 

God just blows my mind. He keeps showing us over and over again that He wants to bless us and He keeps confirming the call that He has for us. The offer we accepted is the highest sale price of a side by side in our area of Winnipeg EVER. That to me, is a huge testament to what God is doing in our lives. I don't often think about the leaving part because it's very very hard and I just don't want to go there quite yet, but this just reminds me of Who is in control and why we're doing this. The things He does to show us how much He loves us MUST be told to people who don't know that kind of love. It's overwhelming to think how many blessings He's poured out on us in our lifetimes and that many many people out there can't even comprehend being loved that much. 

So again He has chosen to bless us. I used to question why God chose to bless ME of all people...strange thought, I know. But now I think I'm starting to understand why - and part of it is that so I will know His love for me SO intensely and passionately that I won't be able to keep it silent. And THAT is why we are going to Ukraine.
