1/31/17 A Few Rays of Hope

This morning I had a phone meeting from our new office with a client. It went well and we should be able to make some solid improvements to the report we make for them.
This afternoon Heidi and I got a call from Diane. We'd been looking online at houses and feeling pretty discouraged. She reported that the seller of the house was willing to come down on the price significantly to cover much of the expensive cost of the needed repairs. Heidi and I spent much time consulting with my father and praying to know what to do. It was a tough choice as some issues, like flood risk due to incorrectly built entryways still can't be fixed. After prayer I felt to run some financial numbers. The lower price would allow us to fix the most expensive problems and get us into a house that meets our needs at an affordable price.
There is still much that can go wrong. We need to get the final list of repairs over to the seller and agree about what they will and won't fix. The house also still needs to appraise properly for the loan to go through. Can the house qualify for insurance that covers flood damage?
Heavenly Father is revealing one step at a time. The next step is we cancelled our cancellation. If things don't work out we are out some time but we can resume our house hunt. On the upside if things do work out we think we will be in a house that will meet our needs. We are in the Lord's hands.
