For those who are prayer warriors, would you please help me to pray about something? I have known for over a week about a home that someone was going to put up for sale. I knew because a good friend of mine called me and told me about it. It is near her house and she knows the current owners.
She called me because she knew how badly I want (and really do need) a one-level home. It has been my prayer request that we find one in this school district, with enough space for my parents to visit comfortably, a nice fenced-in back yard, and preferably near my kids' friends. This house not only meets ALL of those criteria, but also has a STAIR GLIDE leading downstairs to the basement (partially finished, with a spare bedroom and 3/4 bath; perfect for my parents).
We haven't put our home on the market for several reasons: we don't have much in savings towards a downpayment, we have a home that would definitely sell, but does need a few improvements here and there, and it is difficult to find a ranch home IN our school district that is the RIGHT size. Therefore, we haven't been pre-approved for a home loan.
I was hoping that we qualified for a PHFA home loan, but I was looking at the previous year's combined income (2010); not the one from 2011 (which is too much).
Will you help me to pray that, if this is the house that God wants for us, He will make a way? That He will show us clearly that we need to apply or pre-approval for a loan? It JUST was listed TODAY on the market, so my realtor sent me an email with all of the specs.
Thanks, in advance, for any and all prayers!
