The following is an email sent out by Mom this afternoon. I've edited some of the personal info out and replaced it with brackets...

Hello Everyone!
We are so excited and surprised after all this time on the market (1 year and 7 months), we were planning to take the house off the market sometime soon! God had other plans for us...
He sold the house! Closing is set for [very early August], but it might be sooner.
The buyer's house must sell but is set to close [this week].
House inspection is set for [this week, the day after the buyer's house closes].
After those things, we don't think there are any "holes" so to speak.
We are planning to move to [Colorado]. [Dad] and [Mom] need to go there and buy a house!
We are going to be on a wonderful God-gifted vacation in the middle of this time of moving preparation in July!
Packing and moving ourselves completely is planned with John driving rental trucks a few times back and forth. We were advised not to do too much inside until after the home inspection is complete [this coming week]. Today our huge swing set is being disassembled by [Dad] and the kids.
We appreciate all your prayers for the many details that need to be taken care of!
Thank you all so much!
In His Grace,
[Dad], [Mom], [the.joyful.one], [Buddy], [Birdie]

I would like to add this verse as a close.
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,
declares the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts."
Isaiah 55:8-9

I love that bit of scripture. It comes to me at times when things make no sense to me, and reminds me that things don't have to make sense to me and that that does not (necessarily) mean that chaos rules.
So glad it encourages you. If I may, I can recomend another, currently my favorite verse, Rom. 9:16.
