So much can happen in a few weeks.........firstly, this has been a sick household. I got flu, very suddenly while Helen was visiting us. The day I got struck down with it was Pancake Day and of course we were hosting a pancake party that night - so luckily Helen was here and spent the evening flipping pancakes with Ross. All I was good for was to stay curled up on the armchair under a blanket. Helen left the next morning and I went to bed, and couldn't emerge for 3 days. Just as I was starting to feel a bit better, ross and Charley went down with it - they were both off work and school for a few days, but we are all slowly recovering........and we need to, Ross and myself are cooking for newcomers at church on Sunday, so we have to cook a meal for 50 or so peeps, so glad it was last week we were sick and not this one!!!!!
The other exciting thing to happen is that our offer on a house we both fell in love with has been accepted. We both viewed this house, loved it and put in a very low offer (because that was all we could stretch to). We never thought it would be accepted as the house had only been on the market for a week, and our offer was so low that we thought they'd just laugh it off, but we prayed and asked God that if this was he the house he wanted us to be in, he would give it to us for the price we stated and not a penny more. I also prayed that if the house was to be ours, it would be taken off the market and no more viewings allowed on it so less chance of being gazumped. Well last friday the estate agent rang, said our offer was accepted and it had been removed from the market and no one else was going to see it. How clearly did God speak to us??? There is still a long way to go, surveys etc., but we really feel this is where God wants us to be and we remain faithful that God will bring it about to completion.
It looks to be an exciting season coming up for us, some things we wanted to do have already started and there are a whole host of other things we want to get started on, but all in God's timing, not ours.........
