Arrived in USA- Part 3 Accomodation

As we take this step of faith in obeying God's leading to relocate, it had been amazing to experience God's faithfulness and love through God's people! We had been serving by faith in Campus Crusade (30 years for me) and God never fails to provide. As we did our sums for the relocation, we were impressed to use our personal funds to purchase a house in Orlando instead of raising funds for our rental. We even thought of "helping God out" by selling our 5 room flat! (What little faith we have!) As it turns out, it's buyers' market with many foreclosure units available. However, it is risky because paper work could take a long time. We decided to just trust God for His provision. No need to sell our house; just wait for this town house that was worth 250K that is going for 110K. We put in an offer to the bank for 100K back in July.

Upon arrival, still no news. Stayed at a rented apartment which is a blessing in disguise! We had a nice place to rest and just focus on getting our 3 kids into the school system. After the kids had started school, I even had time to attend our office  ladies' meeting, read books and blog!
On the 12th day since our arrival, our agent asked if we would like to accept a smaller unit which we first booked. Although it was tempting to accept (tired of waiting!) I was not comfortable with a few issues; That unit is being rented out and I do not know the condition after the tenants moved out! The kids will not have enough living space and there's no wow factor, just a house. We decided to wait some more...
In less than a week, the bank finally approved the sale for the bigger unit! We are so relief and thankful! ( Heard that the bank fired the guy working on our case because of his inefficiency and put a new guy on the job. This new guy just accepted our offer without counter offer! )

We are looking forward to complete this purchase and settle in. (2 more weeks?) Meanwhile, we are grateful to enjoy our current rented apartment at a super good rate. Remember us in prayer as we go through this new purchasing process and settling in. More work ahead but I am looking forward to it!
