It seems that everything is working out so far for us to purchase the new home in a nearby town. We stumbled upon the house by driving a different way home than we usually do, the home is in our price range, and it's only minutes from Edward's parents, church and his job...the perfect location! The house has been sitting there for almost a year with no buyer, and the builder said he'd hold it for us for 3 months in hopes that we sell our home by then. The only detail left is the biggest one....to sell our house. Here's where the whole trust factor comes into play.
I know that God is in control, so why am I so anxious about selling our home?? Why am I feeling that it's never going to happen? God can do ANYTHING! He can sell it whenever He sees fit. It's been on the market for only 3 days and we've already had 3 visits by potential buyers - something that is unusual in this horrible market! I need to let it go and totally leave it in God's hands...it's just SO HARD!!!! There's nothing I can do though, so as of today, I'm going to lay it at His feet and simply wait...let Him do what He does best...lead my life! He does it better than I ever could!
As a family, we are praying about it...praying that God will clearly open doors that we should take and close doors that we shouldn't. Alone, I'm praying for the buyer...that God will send the perfect person along that will see our house and will instantly feel at home when they walk in. Continue to pray for the sale of our home, and pray for me to have a peace about the whole thing. I'm getting there, but it's not easy!
Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
Isaiah 26:3 "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."
We don't know what the future holds...but we know who holds our future!
Where will He lead us next? Only time will tell....
Lamentations 3:22-23 "It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness."

?Is Lionel going to pack up all his lego planes or does he take them apart when he is done?
Love ya and hope you are blessed this weekend with a sale! ;)
He takes them apart, that's why we take photos of them! I'm sure he has enough Legos to keep them intact, we just don't have the room for them all when they're built! ha ha
Did you take that beautiful picture? I am drooling.
Trust...it seems the story of life doesn't it? For me it only happens in a prayerful moment and then I continually have to refer to my faith to stay focused b/c like Pete I quickly am distracted by the waves.
Praying for you!
It was so nice to see your comment this morning. I figured you have been really busy with the house thing and all.
Jonas had a very nice birthday. :) He got his first K,NEX set and has been making all kinds of things...we might have to get him some more because it is the small set. I think Him and Lionel would have fun building things together.
I am still sick and it seems that yesterday and today are the worst...I missed out on church last night and tonight is our last Bible Study for the rest of the year and it doesn't look like I am going to make it. :( I do not like being sick because when a mom is sick there is no one to take care of her. Ya know what I mean? I need my mom. :)
Still praying that your house sells soon and that everything falls into His perfect will for you.
Have a really blessed day,
Much love,
Christina
OH I forgot...
We just watched Holiday Inn yesterday on the computer...Netflix has it as watch now!
I do love the Inns in both movies. I always dreamed of living in a place like that. Oh it would be heavenly. :) heheh
The boys had to ask me if Bing Crosby and Fred were still alive. I said sorry they are all dead. :( Jonas loves Bing Crosby...I think it is because I always had his movies on while he was growing up.
