Day 6

Today has been an interesting day for sure.

The hurricane is inching closer and it's getting stronger. Up to Cat 4 again. We have decided to ride this storm out even though we live in an older home that is surrounded by old trees and hoping the decision is right.

About mid morning I get a call from the realtor, I answer and she starts rattling off stuff and it all sounds good, but I want hubby to hear before I get excited and say yes. He listened and said yes. We offered $5000 less than his listing price and asked him to pay closing costs. The realtor said it was a great offer. The seller countered with $2000 less than offer and he pay closing costs. We agreed!

In 2 weeks we paid our house off, sold our house, and now bought a house in Savannah. All I can say is that was God!

We are so excited about the new house. Now we need to refocus on the task at hand... Hurricane Matthew. What do we do? Well ride it out since no hotels.

A friend told Daniel she was evacuating to her cabin at Camp Adrian. We thought about it and asked if we could stay with her or even if the camp director might open up the lodge (camp hotel). I called and his wife said yes come on we have room for you. And bring your dog. All for free for as long as we need to stay. Plus they provide 3 means a day. WHAT???

Another God thing! We have been beyond blessed.

I know this is to be a healthier me writing series, but in a way it is... God is blessing and I am growing in my faith. I have trusted Him and He has not let me down. Some prayers He didn't answer as I wanted. I hoped for at least a 4/2.5 2000sqft home. That is not what I was given, but I was given a 3/2 1707sqft home built in 1926 with high ceilings and a sweet front porch with a beautiful back yard.

God is amazing and when we allow Him to work He does big time.

Right now we are chilling out at the lodge enjoying this free mini-vaca!

Until tomorrow...
