When I tell you that God is good, oooh weee!!!! Everything was divinely orchestrated to bring me here. The way that I found the property, the way that the price was decreased, even the dark moments of being denied a mortgage loan for the amount that I needed, all the waiting for the short sell to be approved. ALL was apart of God's plan. The price dropped again and I was able to pay CASH for my condo. No mortgage. CASH! Won't He do it? God didn't stop there. When I got to the closing, I was given a generous tax credit which was more than the closing costs. The title company ended up giving ME a check. Lol I am still in awe of his goodness. No, He's better than good, He's great, awesome, fantastic, remarkable and I can go on and on.
When I left the closing, I went over to my condo and walked around. All 1,329 sq ft of it! I'm in love... I see it for what it's going to look like. It is already decorated in my head. I have a lot of work ahead of me but I don't mind. In fact, I am grateful to put in the sweat equity to make it my home. I look forward to the memories that will take place there. The meals that I will prepare for friends and family, the "Me time" that I will have and the quiet time with God that I will share. I am looking forward to this summer that my kids will spend there. I also look forward to them returning to college in the fall. :-)
I've dreamed a long time for this day. I've been storing boxes of homegoods and furniture in my basement for years. I'm so over the big house thing. I will be moving out of this 4200 sq ft "McMansion" within the next few days and I couldn't be happier. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful to have lived here; I am just so excited about what I really want (the condo). It is mine and I am ecstatic!
To new beginnings,
Nikki

Prayer: Thank You Lord for making my dream of homeownership a reality. Thank you for this condo that I've been looking at for well over a year. You've not only heard my prayers but you brought them to pass. I am forever grateful. I will be a good steward over it. I pray that your favor continues. I pray that you protect my family and home from harm. I pray that great memories will be made there. In Jesus' name, Amen!
