Story #45
-
My wife had the opportunity to finish her degree at OU, and we moved to Norman, bought a house, and lived there for 3 years. When she was finishing up, we knew we were supposed to come back to COTM. We put our house on the market and stayed with friends while we waited for our new house to be built and our old one to sell. Well, the house was done and ours hadn’t sold, and so the contingency kicked in. A couple of months later, we lost that house. We knew that God had a better plan - and I knew that as soon as we put a contract on another piece of land that our house would sell. Sure enough, within 24 hours of signing the contract on a new property, our house in Norman sold. We ended up in a much better neighborhood with a much nicer house for about the same payment as the house we originally built, and after living with different friends for over a year, we moved into our new house in time for Thanksgiving. It took a great deal of patience, but God is faithful!
