Just about the time the nesting instinct kicked into full gear, our lives turned into beautifully controlled MADNESS! I'm going to list/date the order of events just because I know it's something I will want to look back on and I believe it shows just how in control God was of our whole situation. His plan went way smoother and quicker than ever should have been possible, especially if we were the ones left in control (if you know me then you know I'm bad at planning!).
June 10 (am)- We head to Kerrville so Jason can get a root canal at the dentist
(pm)- Jason gets an unexpected phone call from the middle school principal asking him if he can come in to interview for a science job (an opening we did not even know existed)
30 min later- Jason heads to the school dressed in jeans, tshirt, flipflops (we had not planned to stay the night, much less interview for a job!). He is told he will know something by the end of the next week.
45 min later- we head back to SA for our last sonogram before baby girl arrives
June 11 (8:30 am)- Principal calls asking if he would like the job! He says yes and we immediately start packing/decluttering our house. We spent the entire weekend doing this and loaded a ton of stuff to a storage unit.
June 14- Call our realtor & get a call from our renters, who have somehow heard through the Kerrville grapevine, that we are moving back.
June 15- Get the 30 day notice from our renters! AHHH!!!! We were planning to tell them when we had a CONTRACT on our house (which was not even on the market at this point!)
June 16- Met with realtor, signed the paper work, and stuck a sign in the front yard
June 17- House officially goes on the market!
June 18- We head to Corpus for a much needed break and some relaxation with Aunt Yo & Uncle Trevor
June 19- Play at the beach all day and come home to an email containing an offer on our house! We counter, they accept, and we are under contract in less than 48 hours after putting house on market!!! The closing date the buyers chose is July 22, which is the last day of summer strength camp at Jason's school.
Now if that is not God's providence at work then I don't know what is! He has blown us away by his timing, mercy, and strength.
