Faith like a Mustard Seed
I don't know if I've blogged about our house in Henry County. If I have, sorry. If I haven't, well, I am now! When we moved to Madison two years ago, God provided us with a renter for our house in Henry County at the exact moment that we needed one. In fact, we hadn't even begun to market the house for rent yet when Alicia came along. It really was a God thing. She has been wonderful and we've thoroughly enjoyed having her be the one in our house for the last two years. However, she has decided to move in with her mom and dad so she can go back to school. We found this out in January. I must admit, my regular, sinful nature took over and I immediately began to worry. Joey and I most definitely do not need two mortgage payments. Who does?!?! We listed the house for sale, but I'm sure you can imagine how that has gone. Not one single person has even looked at it. To sell it, we would have to take a monumental loss on it and we don't have the extra cash to do that. Last Friday, Joey listed the house on CraigsList as a rental. Again, God provided! Yesterday, we got a signed TWO YEAR lease! We are so excited and blessed. Not only do we not have to worry about it for two years (hopefully!), we even raised the rent by $100. We thought we would have to drop it back down to where it had been, but we didn't! Maybe when the next two years is over, we'll be able to sell it. If not, I'll trust God will provide yet another renter. One of these days, I'm going to learn that all it takes is to have faith like a mustard seed and I'll see God move mountains. He's teaching me....slowly, but surely, He's teaching me.
