Well, the home inspection was bright and early this morning. Mark took me out for my favorite pancake breakfast and then we drove over to Mesa View Manor. Our inspector was there, working away. He is a very friendly guy, honest and thorough. When he was done with his inspection he told us what he found. The house has major foundational and drainage issues that need to be addressed. To fix them will cost thousands of dollars, which we don't have. On top of that the furnace and water heater need to be replaced and the sewer line inspected. This on top of cosmetic changes we want to make is just too much.
When we first viewed Mesa View Manor we asked why the prior deal fell out. They told us that it was because of a crack in the driveway. Well, it is more than just a crack in the driveway. This morning I laid out my fleece to the Lord saying that if He did not want us to buy Mesa View Manor that something would come up in the inspection report. So we must obey. We are calling off the deal. I do not know where we will go from here.

hm. then this news is a blessing, given the problems with major infrastructure of the house!
where do you go from here? you put one foot in front of the other, seeking His leading on the path He set you on..trusting nothing but Him and knowing He has your home already picked out. it just isn't ready yet. He's still wrapping the package. :o)

Thank you dear jAne. You are right, it is a blessing. Your words mean so much right now.
Becky, I couldn't say it any better than jAne, so ditto.
