We FINALLY got notification of our tax refund on it's way in the mail. We prayed, talked with advisors and some loved ones, even the programs the children qualify for for assistance. God has made it abundantly clear to us that our only option is to purchase a home with the money we get. It will take all that we have, but we have faith.
We started looking for a house. We started out with one realtor who was awful and clearly trying to get us to buy a house that needed too much work, cost too much and was overpriced. We decided to let him go and move on.
In moving on, we took a drive to an open house and met our soon to be realtor Marcel Hensely. She and her team, including Tanya Polluck, have been completely professional in every way. They have been kind and generous and had faith in us. They took time to show us many houses. With our unique circumstances, unique income structure and challenes, she found us a home.
We received the check from the IRS at the perfect time and were able to close escrow in the less than 30 days we needed to prove to the appropriate agencies that we had spent the money on a home to raise and care for our five children.
I am in such amazement, awe and wonder at how our blessed God works. We own a gorgeous two story home where the mortgage is less than rent. It makes the monthly budget much more doable, especially with all the frequent doctor visits. It also makes it possible to give the children rooms of their own that some of them desperately need. Gabriela has space now when she is angry or having a particularly tough bipolar or odd day to cool off and be alone. Michael has space to be separate to keep his exposures to germs at a minimum and a bedroom downstairs to help his limited mobility. The house is big enough to accommodate the two wheelchairs that Michael uses. Shawna has her own room to feel normal and play princess dress up and ballernina. Joseph and Joshua enjoy sharin and playing all the things boys love to play like super heros, space and cars.
My husband and I have space to call our own and a bathroom we do not have to share. I also love the fact that there are no bugs, no ants, no spiders or rodents contaminating our new home. It is a clean healthy space.
Wow!! God gave us our new dream home. A truly miraculous event that has no other explanation than the gift from God that it was and the many angels who made it happen.
Our first housewarming gift was even an Angel nightlight.
Praise you Lord!!!
God bless you on your journey,
