Another Go
Just an update on the housing/lack of housing situation ... we put an offer on a condo today, on Jana Drive, in Lawrence. This is our 3rd or 4th attempt. God has protected us and closed the doors on those deals ... and David was able to accept his new job. It's a bit more than we'd hoped, but a very nice place, and we think it will be a great place for us, as we complete the transition into Lawrence life. We think Ron, our realtor, is getting tired of us, as we've been at this since November! We feel he knows us pretty well, and is getting to know Dad and Mom Rahija pretty well too -- he even met Grandma Looney this week! We've been so blessed by his help - we can actually hold a conversation with others about real estate issues now, and not feel completely lost, and can look through a house fairly quickly, knowing what we are looking for/needing. This condo is in the same home owners association as our friends Matt and Dena Broderick (Dena's the president), so we would already know some neighbors, too! Please keep us in prayer as we wait for God's perfect timing and plan, not ours! Thanks!

Well, no news yet, but the listing is not pulling up anymore, so, we'll keep waiting!
Okay, last night, we received a counter offer, that basically didn't really counter anything. We resubmitted our offer as a "pass or play" offer today, and are awaiting the response. Keep praying for the right thing, the "God thing" to happen in this situation. Thanks!
What happened when we bought our townhouse was a rental agency countered our offer significantly higher than we were willing to go. But the company that was selling it preferred a family residing in it to an agency to buy it, so they accepted our lower offer instead of the higher one. Maybe that's what's happening with yours? We're a prayin'!!
Still waiting to hear. Thanks for the encouragement, Sarah. We know that God's plan is infinitely higher than ours, and as He protected us so that David could take this job that he is loving, He will provide a place for us where our finances will glorify Him and be within the means He provides. Thank you all, so much, for your prayers.
They said they will give it to us for $2000 more than our offer. We are considering. Please pray for our relationship during this time. It's a hard week for us. Thanks.
