Big, BIG Prayer Request

I'm reluctant to ask but I need all prayer warriors right now. I talked to our Realtor today & there is a couple who have already come to see the house twice. They want to come for a 3rd time this time bringing their parents with them. It looks like it is down to the wire. It's between us & one other house. The other house is 3bdrms., 2 full baths with 7 rooms total. They are about 300 sq. ft. smaller than us and their lot is a bit smaller too. It looks like the yard is a bit on a slope. Their house is 1890. The flip side is a lot of renovations have been done including the bathrooms redone (I think one was recently added), new appliances in the kitchen, a jet bathtub in the upstairs bathroom & new flooring in the kitchen. Our house is 4 bdrms., 2 full baths, no deck, a flat fenced in yard and renovations including a new roof. We were told at our closing it is 1940 but the listing via City Hall says 1900. A few months b/f we bought it the bathrooms & kitchen were completely renovated, new windows were put in the entire house and the walls were sheetrocked. We've done many things as well but I don't know if they compare in the minds of the buyers.

I know there is nothing else I can do but pray. I will be gone for the showing as I already had plans to go away. I will clean b/f I go and then mom will open up the house and touch up before they come. It's hard not being the one to be here & put my own touches on it before they arrive. But I know I can't cancel my plans & need to let go. Oh, it's not easy! PLEASE pray that they will choose us. We need this more than you know.
