Bad News... But Peace...

Well, we heard today that our loan did not get approved. I cannot go into all the details but it was a complicated situation and it just didn't fly with the mortgage company. Anyway, we are TRYING other ways of getting a loan so we have not lost the house... just our loan. There is HOPE!

I TRUST my GOD! I know that if we get a loan or if we do NOT get a loan HE has a reason and a purpose and I am okay with that. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pray about our earnest money though. We really need that money back and it is up to the seller to return it or not.

I am so appreciative of my parents, and our friends, and church family here for all their help and encouragement. My sweet friend Emily came over right away just to give me a hug! I REALLY appreciate everyone! I will let everyone know what is going on when I find out more but for now we will not be closing tomorrow and I am not sure about the future. I am just going to take it one day at a time.

Tomorrow is our garage sale!! My garage is a MESS (see picture below!) but hopefully we can make a few bucks off our junk! :) Mom's flight got canceled so she won't be here until late tomorrow night... I need her for support and to put her to work :)

Because of all the chaos today TJ and I were not really focused on the kids... it was crazy and we were trying to talk and get lunch ready. Well Karoline and Anderson had enough of us not paying attention to them. Karoline took it upon herself to feed her brother... the whole container of Puffs!! Here is what she said...

ME: "Karoline, did you give Anderson puffs?"

KBG: "Yes Mommy. Anderson HAS to eat! He needed Puffs."

What a good big sister... then I grabbed my camera for a quick picture!

The MESS!!

Sweet boy...

I took this picture for my friend Emily... She thinks it's crazy that Karoline does not get out of the bed after the night and naps. It's not because of anything we did to teach her it's just her little (usually) obedient personality.

He loves to get the fridge toys off the fridge to play...


Anderson's funny way of holding the bottle...

My kids love being under my feet all the time :) Even while doing the dishes!

PLEASE KEEP PRAYING!!

I am so sorry the loan was not approved. I know that must have been hugely disappointing, but I'm glad you are feeling "okay" about it. I'm impressed with your attitude throughout and I know it's not been easy. Keep us posted and I hope you sell lots of stuff on Sat!

I know you're so disappointed! Keep smiling. If you move to Memphis, I bet we could find you the same house for 160K! What do you think? Love y'all!

I pray the Lord's will for this move in your lives and that he will give you complete peace and comfort with whatever happens. Sometimes we don't understand things that happen and can only trust that the Lord sees the big picture. Good things will come. Hugs & hugs.
