We found a realtor, explained our situation, and put the house on the market in late March. We had several showings each week, which was so encouraging. We got an offer in April, but it wasn't a good one, and we weren't able to come to an agreement on a price. When we let that go, I cried. I was trying my hardest to trust God, but it was hard. Our family needed away, and I felt trapped.
We dropped the price when our showings slowed down. When our showings didn't pick back up, we got nervous. But May was such a busy month, my attention was less and less on our house situation, and more on all the things were were doing as a family.
The first weekend in June, we had our last crazy weekend, and looked forward to life slowing down a little. We were nothing short of shocked when our realtor called to tell us that we an offer. A good one!! It was so good, we immediatly took the offer, no negotiating, and started the house hunt.
My amazing husband had been keeping his eye on this house while we waited and prayed that our house would sell.
Now, our house is a whirl wind of excitement! We close on our current house on July 6th, and then close on the new house on July 12th. We're still sorting through a lot of the details, but with the help of my family, and the help of friends, I think it's all going to work out!!
I'm still totally overwhelmed by how God worked this situation out. I knew he would, but it's been so good to actually see it happening first hand.

Praise the Lord! I love a good dramatic blog post title :) So happy for you!!!
Wow, Kierstyn, I hadn't really been following exactly what was going on. My situation was not remotely to the level of yours but I can appreciate the need to get away from neighbors (who lived in our basement). In my case I just had to wait it out for them to leave. But I felt so unsafe as long as they were here. The relief now that they are gone has been so huge. The "last straw" of relief came a week ago when Joseph finally changed our locks. :)
