Miracle House Story
Miracle House Story
After searching for 10 months for a home, God made the impossible possible. The housing market was treacherous. There was limited availability, the prices were extremely high, and they were sold quickly. I put an offer on a house I loved with a higher offering price, but it fell through because another bidder outbid me. My sister-in-law told me about a house that was vacant near them. I reached out to the owners, but they weren’t ready to sell.
A few months later, another house on the same street that the first house I put an offer on came available. I didn’t like it as much, but I liked the area and the house had potential, so I put an offer on the house. Unfortunately, someone else got the house because they could close sooner than I could. I was so discouraged because I had to live with a few different families because I didn’t have a place to call home. I dreamed of living near my nephews and raising my kids with them. I don’t have children yet, but that’s another prayer of mine.
I reached back out to the family who had the vacant house near my brother because I still had hope. My realtor felt it may be a waste of time, but I didn’t want to give up on my dream of living near my nephews. After reaching back out to them, which was about nine months since I talked to them, they finally were open to sell “as is”. I didn’t think that I could afford the home because of its being in a beautiful neighborhood and the price range. Thankfully, after a couple of weeks, I was able to go see the home. I gave them an offer without it being put on the market, which would have definitely increased the price, and they accepted it.
I was so thankful, and I was able to see God’s hand in the whole process. Through all the doubt, pain, tears, and fears…God showed his hand in this and blessed me measurably more than I ever dreamed. Thank You, Lord!!
