so here's my story that i wanted to share:
well it happened today ... just like that ... snap ... done deal!
we bought a condo!!!!!
and it’s the bungalow type we really hoped to get ...
can anyone say "Praise the Lord!!!" ... and say it with real heart & feeling? well i sure can!
the day started like any other, with me drinking coffee and watching the Lord paint the morning sky ...
when leo got up, we had our devotions and prayer time ... and we prayed for a condo, like we always do ...
w-e-l-l ... today we got a call from an acquaintance ... one who wasn’t even sure of my name ... and she asked if we’re still looking for a condo ... i said yes ... she gave me the particulars ... what followed was fast paced, steady chain of events .... i went and looked at the place ... then told the people we’d take it ...
later in the evening, i came back with leo to sign the papers ...
if the paper work can hurry through, the condo is ours as of December 1st ... next week friday ...
can you believe that? when God gets something going, well it GOES ...
and can you see the HUGE grin on my face? and the praise in my heart? and the joy in leo’s eyes? cause that is what the rest of the evening was all about!
we are absolutely thrilled to bits and saying "thank you Lord" with every breath ...
end of story ... now maybe i can go get some shut-eye!

Oh! I have tears in my eyes and goosebumps on my arms. The Lord really does work in mysterious ways. I wonder what the story of it is, why it's available now and wasn't sooner. :)

Wonderful news, Saija! Congratulations indeed. God *is* good. I'm so happy for you and Leo.
I am so happy for you both, Saija and Leo!! How thrilling for you to have found a nice bungalow condo with a view of the river. Praise the Lord!(said with true heart and feeling).
I love the fact that an aquaintance that didn't really know if you were still even looking for a place was led to call you and thus be an answer to your prayer.
Yippee!! Congrats...I can hardly wait to hear more.
maureen ... it's nice to share a happy moment with one and all ... i am sill in this "get out! for real?" type of thought ... God's goodness goes beyond anything we could imagine!
nellie ... i love the way the Lord uses people and places that we wouldn't even think of!!! adds that "God's hand is upon it" touch! :o)
fred ... YIPPEE for sure ... we are still doing the happy dance ... well leo is doing the happy snooze and hoping no one really does ask him to dance!
That is the best news I've heard in awhile! Congratulations!! I knew that as soon as you started settling into your rental, your new home would appear out of thin air. :)
**hugs**
catherine ... *laughing* isn't that the way things go?? i have started packing again ... atleast i already have the boxes and have already purged much stuff from move #1 - more to go of course - i'm still giddy happy - constantly looking up to heaven smiling at the Lord!

mrsd ... my heart is so full of praise & joy, it's hard to sleep!
tim ... I KNOW!!!! we are thrilled ... this was the EXACT type of condo & location we wanted ... and there are ONLY 6 of these in our little town!!!! God just wanted me to wait a little bit ... :o) Praise His Name!!!!!
