Steve & Barry's t-shirt and God's sovereignty

After months of prepping and sorting and cleaning, our house officially went on the market on Thursday!  We had showings on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, but on Monday (to our amazement) we accepted an offer!  An inspection, appraisal, and more await, but we are celebrating what God is doing.  I have about 3 weeks until my due date (and my midwife anticipates I'll go early) so we are grateful that our close date isn't until Sep. 27th.

Thank you for praying for us and the circumstance surrounding selling our home, finding a temporary residence and raising the rest of support so that we can move to Thailand sometime in January.  Please continue to pray.

Here's the next UNBELIEVABLE story that happened about 2 hours ago.  Ken decided to go church to play basketball this evening, only to find out it was cancelled.  So he ran an errand for me, got something to eat, and headed home.  While he was in the driveway, a woman pulled up looking at our house and flagged Ken down to ask a few questions.  She saw his Michigan shirt (go Blue!) and asked if he was from MI.  She shared that she was from Lincoln Park.

 Now, remember in a previous post, we were in Lincoln Park and visited Friendship Baptist Church?  Well, the congregation had a former member who now lives in Ringgold and they gave us their info.

Ken said to the woman, "We just connected with Friendship Baptist Church in Lincoln Park."  She was pretty shocked and told us that FBC was her home church in MI!  This was the woman the people at FBC were telling us about!  Ken brought her in the house and introduced me to her.  We showed her the paper with her name and phone number, etc. and she recognized the handwriting, "My sister wrote that!"  We just couldn't believe it.   We had been planning to contact them, but hadn't, and God brought her to our house!

Today we rejoice in the sovereignty of God.  He used a cancelled b-ball practice, a few errands, and an old Michigan shirt from Steve and Barry's to connect His children.  That is our God!  He shows His love and provision in so many ways.
