Must Share God's Faithfulness!!!

We received this in an email yesterday from the fabulous folks who have been looking at/wanting to buy our house  - I can't NOT share the faithfulness of our God: 

"things are looking great with our financing! so that's exciting. so we are definitely going to buy your house. YAY! I know you are happy to finally know that is done!!"

Umm....."happy" would be quite an understatement.  "We are definitely going to buy your house."  Not sure there are many things I could hear right now that would be sweeter than that (maybe someone saying "God's told us to cover all of your Mercy Ships costs...."  or "I'm going to supply you with Cherry Coke for life." jk).

Other amazing things God is giving us:
  • 2 monthly supporters!!!  (before we've even "officially" asked :)  We're off to a fantastic start!)
  • A potentially really amazing fundraiser (and I think it's one that will live up to the first 3 letters in the word FUNdraiser!!!).   Someone has offered it to us....someone else has offered to "make it happen" - ie organize it for us.  We are amazed.  Feel free to go ahead and save Friday, April 27 from 7-9pm.
  • Other offers of "gatherings" for us - ones that give us the chance to share our story and that give others the chance to support us (again, we are amazed...these are things just being offered - not that we're having to go out and solicit or line up or make happen.)
  • Other Unsolicited "publicity" (through newsletters and blogs and speaking opportunites....)
  • Subway coupons (thanks, brandon!)
  • His peace. Reassurance.  Encouragement.  Hope.  Joy. 
What an amazing, generous, pays-attention-to-the-details, wonderful, kind God we serve. 

Surely there will be more to come.
