My First Birthday Present

Last week I posted my birthday list on Facebook...

• a new ACL for my knee
• a job for my husband
• a buyer for my condo.

Looks like I the buyer for the condo will come through tomorrow! And the icing on the cake is that the offer is for full asking price so we don't have to do a short sale.

Late Friday afternoon, the perspective buyer that lead us down the road of a short sale, backed out of the offer. Fast forward through the holiday weekend - our realtor calls on Tuesday to say that an offer at full asking price will probably come through this week. We signed the offer tonight and should be in contract tomorrow - my birthday!

What a gift! We could not be more thankful. Moments like these make me realize how small my faith really is. Last week I had resigned myself to taking the hit for a short sale. The idea of a better offer was a fleeting thought that I never really took the time to entertain. Thankfully God knew better and allowed the original offer to fall through so that this better offer could surface. My faith is small but my God is big.
