Thankful that HE knows

Hey friends,

Just a quick update on what's happening here. We ended up putting the purchase offer in on the foreclosed home and found out within hours that two other offers had come in. We had until Monday to submit our 'highest and best' offer. After a few phone calls to get perspective and advice, we humbly submitted the offer and prayed that if they Lord wanted us to be there, in that neighborhood, in that house, then he would work out the details. Our realtor's advice "Don't get too attached..." So here we are...Thursday...and have learned that the bank accepted a different offer. The initial disappointment has been replaced by peace that God knows best. He knows what the bigger picture looks like. He knows our needs as a family. He knows what neighborhood would be a good fit for us. He knows what will happen with the economic situation. He knows the timing. He knows our deep down desires ...mine, Mark's, John's and Lizzie's. I am so thankful that I can trust in the LORD, that He knows all these things (and so much more) and that I do not have to rely upon my own knowledge or power or resources. I can rest in Him....that HE knows best.
