Selling the Farmhouse

I haven't blogged for weeks because I've been a wee-bit busy. You see, we have sold the Old Red Farmhouse.

Once we decided in February to accept a church-planting call in Florida, we began to get busy with minor fix-ups, painting rooms, clearing closets and general sprucing up.  Two weeks ago today, we held an informal open house for a few friends and neighbors who had contacted us to express interest.

My head is still spinning at the speed  of things since then.  We received a great offer 3 days after the open house, which we accepted that day.  We've already had a full inspection, a radon test (we passed!) and well/septic inspection.  So it looks like everything is moving forward for us to leave by the end of June.  We hope the new family will be even happier than we have been here.

All of this confirms in a concrete way that we are being called to leave.  It will not be easy, and there is still a lot to do.  But selling the house so quickly is one more answered prayer that helps us to know we are headed in the right direction.

In my next post, I'll show some photos from inside the house, which has never looked so good!

Now I am left with a dilemma:  should I keep this blog name after we move, or do I need a new title?
