Another Crazy Amazing Story

Nearly 2 years ago I found out I was pregnant with baby #3 and I tried to imagine where I would put her. Our 900 square foot house was tight as it was and the third bedroom was arguably a closet. With no choice, I made that tiny little space the coziest I could, and I started praying for a miracle. I watched seasons come and go and no matter how much I looked and tried on my own to get a house, something always fell through.

On December the 26th, 2011 I prayed once again to the Lord. I gave him specifics of what I wanted in a house: I needed more square footage, a fenced backyard, a bigger kitchen, 2 bathrooms and an indoor washer and dryer. I also mentioned the fact that we didn't have money for a deposit really, and that our budget for this miraculous house was only $100 more than we were paying now.I said this knowing that there were absolutely no houses that big for that price. Then I said Amen and carried on with my day. 6 hours later... our landlord came knocking on our door. He told us that he had a 1300 square foot house with a spacious kitchen, fenced in backyard and an indoor washer and dryer. Then he said it was only $50 more than what we were paying now. My jaw dropped.
As soon as I walked in, I just knew it was God. I could feel it in the timing, and the circumstances. He somehow managed to find the perfect house for us and He worked out the deposit situation. And here I am, 5 days before the new year, feverishly packing to move! The real kicker is, it's about half a block from where we live, so the move is going to be so easy... and cheap.

All the time I prayed, and asked and begged for a new place. All the times that perfectly good houses fell through, how could I have known that God had something so much better, so much more affordable? I've said it before, I will continue to say it... Our God is Crazy Amazing!
