We moved in October 6th! This house is such a blessing for us! We now have 4 bedrooms upstairs instead of spread out on 3 levels like before. An attached 2 car garage, so we don't have to trudge through the snow to the house. Toby and I have our OWN bathroom, which we will appreciate even more as our 3 girls get older! Not to mention new windows, roof, doors and INSULATION. We had an old house before with lots of character, but character won't keep you warm, like a new house.
As far as our other house. We tried to rent it, but then felt it would be much easier financially if we sold it. So we tried to sell it, but were not willing to drop the price so much to get it sold, so then we had it for rent and for sale. The day after we put up our for rent sign, we got it rented to some excellent tenants. We feel real excited about getting to keep it!
It has been a real walk of faith lately in all these changes. Our big hurdle was getting loans we needed for the new house. The mortgage world is very cautious right now, especially for investors. We had to do a lot to prove that we are actully living in the house that started out as an investment. Now, that we kept our old house, it is still a walk of faith to believe God to provide. But we really feel at peace about keeping it. Part of our heart's desire. We will see what unfolds in weeks and months to come, but I am expectant! We have already seen some miracles and I really believe what we need is no big thing for God to do or lead us in doing.
I will try and post some new pictures of our new home soon!
