what a week this has been! is it a full moon?
our other good news is that on sunday we got a good offer on the house we live in which has been up for sale in this slow, news-making market since the last week of july.
and on monday, we made an offer on a new house. we've lived in this neighborhood for 17 years, indeed we both grew up here but let's not count those years. so we are ready for a fresh start, a new chapter. after all, doesn't that go with empty nesting (this is a preemptive strike, our nest isn't empty yet), being over 50 and menopause? time for new horizons and all that jazz. the Word calls it enlarging our borders.
our realtors said it ain't over til the closings sing but all is proceeding per usual.
aaaaahhhhhh, i am thankful to the Lord that He's heard the desires of our hearts for change. usually i loathe change but in this case, i interceded for it long and hard and many of you were of one chorus with me in this request! praise Him!
He said that He was going to prepare a place for us in heaven, mansions above! in the meantime, He is gracious to provide this next cottage/mini-mansion here on earth. Lord willing and the creek don't rise.
John 14:2
"In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you."

Woo hoo! That's wonderful news.
I'll pray for everything to go smoothly and the closings to be routine uneventful.
thank you!
