Wow I never thought that would be our title in life but we have officially rented out the Wagoner house and become landlords!!! Our new tenants are a legally blind woman and her husband who have a heart for special needs kids. She has two blind children--one a teenager and one a surprise late in life baby, an adopted daughter from the US foster care system, and will be raising her special needs adult niece. She and her husband also do foster care and once they move they plan on doing that again.
When we decided to first sell our house we prayed that God would send the ones that would be blessed with the house and would continue to fill it with praises to HIM. The new "lady of the house" has been praying for a LARGE HOUSE all on one floor. She saw the house right after another family and was sure we would rent to them first so she prayed and prayed all day for favor for herself. I was so touched that when we called to say she could rent it because she immediately started praising God and thanking HIM for HIS blessings. This family is everything we had prayed for when we first wanted to sell it. Even though it's just going to be rented and not sold we have seen how keeping it can be a great profit to us after all. There are some things in the works about getting into that" land of more than enough" and this house has a major part in getting us there. In due time I hope to share all that God is doing for us!
In the mean time THANK YOU LORD FOR SENDING THE ONE THAT WILL CHERISH THE HOUSE YOU GAVE TO US SO LONG AGO!!!
What a blessing, Anita! I miss not chatting w/you...we need to get together some time, ok?
ReplyDeleteHi Anita,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to drop by and thank you for joining in the friends at A Place Called Simplicity - how blessed we have been by all the support! Thank you!
You sound like the coolest landlords...having been awhile since we rented, pray for favor with our landlord. We hadn't even arrived to move in yet and someone came by to drop off a bed and left an oil spot in the driveway and he called us complaining...ugh...I felt sick to my stomach, a year is a long time with a landlord who is watching so closely...
Anyway, I pray your day is blessed!
Hugs from Colorado,
