Anticipation

UPDATED: Well, my realtor informed me that the people who looked at my house offered on another home. It's not like I was expecting an offer (definitely hoping) but now I am confused. Do I keep the house on the market now that we have had this random showing in the hopes that it sells or do I go ahead and move back into it?


I've been pretty giddy since about 11:30 this morning. Why, you might ask. Well, because that is when my realtor called me to tell me that there was a showing at the house I have for sale. Why is this making me giddy? Well, I didn't even know it was still on the market! WHAT?!? That's right, folks, didn't even know it was still for sale. The deal is we had recently decided we were going to move back into it and try to sell my husband's grandmother's house in as-in condition. The structure of the house is great but needs some renovations which is why we had moved into it and tried to sell our remodeled home. We put it on the market in October of 2010 and didn't have one single showing. Not one. We took it off of the market and rented it out until we found out we weren't supposed to have a renter based on our mortgage. Oops! At that point we saw it as a lost cause and thought we might be able to get out of the other house with an as-is or short sale. And, then, today the call. You have to understand that I have been looking to God for a sign to several prayers. If this house sells, it would be the answer to everyone of them in various ways. All I can now is to continue to pray that we get an offer. So, thank you Lord for working in mysterious ways. Thank you Lord for the new hope you have given me today with one phone call. Thank you Lord for teaching me patience and being responsible while waiting for Your answer. Thank you Lord for anticipation.
