I wanted to share a praise. God has been showing Himself faithful in the details time and time again. Last Sunday, Miguel posted three "For Rent" signs around the neighborhood. He accidentally wrote our phone number so tiny that you would have to pull your car over and walk to the sign to read the number. I did not think this method of finding a renter would even come close to working.
Well, Sunday afternoon the calls began to come in and they haven't stopped yet. Wednesday, a man called and asked to stop by and see the house that evening. When the man and his wife arrived, I was relieved. They actually showed up! AND they were older and "Past our wild and crazy days!" as they stated. They seemed to like the house and promised to call in the next few days. As they left, Miguel and I both remarked that we'd really like for them to rent our house.
Less than an hour later, the man called back saying that they'd like to put in a one year lease!!!! In less than three days God provided a renter that met all of our stipulations and desires. We move out May 31, they move in June 1. God is truly showing Himself as intimately involved in our lives and this move.
So we proceed forward, trusting that He will continue to open doors and close doors as He sees fit!

That is so good to know. Check their refs very carefully anyway. Wild and crazy can be replaced with "mild and lazy" (about paying rent on time). NOt to be a naysayer, but sometimes the "nicest faces" are deceiving. We had moved into our new house thinking our old one had been sold except for going to settlement. Found out after moving into the new one that the lady had lied on her credit ap and had been in arears for months with BGE and other creditors. (We did eventually find a new buyer, but wouldn't repeat that mistake.)
Zo, thanks for the advice. We are still have people come look at our place, so that we don't end up in that place! We are in the middle of checking the family's credit and will proceed with caution until everything is clear! It's a scary thing...especially when people are so deceiving--inside and out!
