AMAZING

God is so good! We had a home inspection in Maryland on the 21st and it did not go well. We were so excited to be taking the next step toward owning our own home and moving. After the contractor spent 2 hours looking the 850 square foot house over, his report had 26 items in the priority one category. That means that there were 26 things that we would have to do/fix before the house would really be livable. How crazy is that?! We immediately decided that we were not going to move forward with the house, because we are not in the position to purchase a "money pit". Needless to say, we were discouraged.

But earlier, our realtor had told us that there was someone from a local church who had a farm house that they wanted to rent to us because we were joining Young Life and we are a young couple in need. So we made an appointment to see it that afternoon. Feeling a little defeated, we pull up to the farm and see several buildings of different sizes. When we get out of the car, the whole place smells like poo- due to the 300+ cows, fertilizer, and the organic nature of the farm. Funny enough, the smell was kind of pleasant! The owner of the property met us and walked us into the largest farmhouse on the property. As we walked around the house, we were met by two living rooms, four fire places, two staircases, at least 4 bedrooms (we lost count) and a beautiful back yard. Then she dropped the bomb on us and said they wanted to charge us $300 a month for rent!! No, that is not a typo, that is all God! We feel so incredibly blessed and we are looking forward to moving there on August 1st. Maryland... here we come!!!
