We have been confronted with our first setback in buying our house. The setback doesn’t in any way keep us from buying, just sets back the date of closing later than we had anticipated. We were informed today that because the Parish we are moving to recently redid the plotting map for flood zoning, we will be unable to present the VA with the flood zone certificate (meaning we are NOT in a flood zone) until after April 3rd.
What does this mean?
Well, it means that while everything else can move forward, when it comes to “closing” on the house we’re at a stand-still. While this certainly is not a bad setback, it is an annoying one. However, even in the midst of our annoyance we are still extremely excited and thankful for all the Lord is doing. He knows the reason this is all unfolding this way, and we truly do trust His judgment.
There is a silver lining – as in every story – we do not have to rush to get packed and moved. This affords us a generous amount of time to get organized and packed. It also gives the families who are helping us move more time to arrange their schedules.
Our realtor did just call and inform me that she is trying to get an exception through the Core of Engineers so that we can go forward with closing on our house. She cannot guarantee that we’ll get it, but her efforts are such a blessing to us.
Either way, the day we get the keys to our new house and start making it a home will be a glorious day! We thank everyone who has continued to pray for us through this process. We are eternally grateful for all of the love and encouragement that has been poured out on our family these past several weeks.
Until next time…Soli Deo Gloria!
Serving God and My Family,
