Miracles Still Happen

Yes, they do. And while our closing date is still one week (!) away, here's a little sample of the few things that have happened that, hmmm, could just not be a bunch of random coincidences.
1. An offer was made on our house on Dec. 26th. How often do you hear of that?? In this market??
2. The buyer said she had looked at hundreds of houses and felt a sense of peace when she walked through our door. She knew right away that it was the place.
3. We visited my older brother's church Sat. night. Because we walked in late, the pastor called out our names and introduced us to everybody. Because he did that, a lady came up to me afterward and said she was THE PERSON at the title company handling our closing. Our file was on her desk at that very minute. Cool!
4. Steve and Nate were hoping to go on a missions trip to Guatemala 2 days after Christmas. The trip got cancelled.If they'd gone, Steve would've been unavailable to see the offer, sign the offer, and start packing!
5. We had a garage sale on Friday, and did very well. However, an employee from the local Code Enforcement Office showed up and warned us that having a garage sale sign by the road constituted a misdemeanor (he let us off without any jail time). We had a sale scheduled for Saturday, too, and since we couldn't put the sign up, my dad stood by the road waving it (somehow, it's too dangerous to have a sign in the ground, but not to have a PERSON standing by the road). Because of this, we got SO much business. People coming out of the nearby restaurant after breakfast commented on it and stopped by, and a guy who owned a furniture store came and practically bought us out!

I'm sure we'll have more stories of how personal and good God is, so stay tuned.......
