Bad News or Maybe a Blessing in Disguise

We found out today that the sellers decided not to drop the price on the house. They said that the appraiser was wrong and they found different comparable properties to justify their price. We just both felt that it wasn't worth that much money because it needed A LOT of work just to get it up to code and then the kitchen and bath needed to be updated and there wasn't a laundry room. We liked it and were hoping it would work out so we could be in something before school started. It just doesn't feel like a good deal and we are sick about losing all the time and money and effort we put into this deal but we feel that it was meant to be. We are looking for apartments that we can rent month to month until we get a house. We are already working on 3 more offers so hopefully we will find something else that is better very very soon. We also found out that the army isn't going to pay for anything until he has been in school 30 days. We are starting to really panic now because we are out of money and were really counting on the stipend and the bonus to get us through. I'm sure we will figure something out. We are full hoping that if we keep living like we know we should that we will be blessed and things will work out how they are supposed to. We have been very lucky in life so far and we know that Heavenly Father has a plan for us. "Faith in god includes faith in his timing." that quote has got us through a lot lately. Thanks Neil A. Maxwell. So everyone keep praying for us and thinking positive thoughts for us and hopefully we will get something ASAP!

"Faith in GOD means Faith in his timeing," what beautiful words to live by. We never know what our Father in Heaven has in store for us, but your right things will fall in to place if we but live by his words. Just take one day at a time and don't try to rush things. Sit back, relax and leave it in his hands.

Love you MOM
