Oh, what to do...

Ever feel like your life is 'on hold'?!? That's exactly how we've all been feeling lately. We've had our home on the market for 60 days now...not long when you consider how the market has been lately, but for us it seems like an eternity! Having to keep the house spotlessly clean is the hardest part. I don't care what you say, no one lives like this normally, no one without a maid at least.

We have been busy packing up boxes to remove most of our precious valuables the clutter from each room. The house is looking great, but not without putting blood, sweat and tears into it. Why do we have so much?!?!? Kinda makes me wonder what we were thinking in the first place. Funny thing is....we have no more than most people have. Our home is not huge, so I can imagine the stuff people would have in a large home, say...like this one! OK, so maybe not that big...but you get the point. (I only hope my mansion in heaven is like this one...maybe even BIGGER! hee hee!)

We were blessed to receive a huge number of extra sturdy packing boxes from someone who recently moved here from across the country...for FREE! These days boxes don't come cheap, so we were very thankful to get them. We've got most of them full already and piled up in the finished room in the basement.

Check out the 'stuff' we have to pack!!!!!!!!


This weekend we are having our 2nd open house. The first one was before the holidays. It brought in several interested people, but none quite ready to make an offer. Most people have to sell the home they have in order to purchase ours. We have been praying fervently that God would show us what He wants for us...mainly, where he wants us to live. It has been a battle and we're not sure 100% what to do. So...we wait.

Please would you pray for us that God would provide a buyer even this weekend during the open house...that He would show us exactly where we should go, and help us to feel at peace with the decision. Thanks! We did put a bid on a home not far from here, but it's only being held until February, so timing is critical. God can do mighty things, I have no doubt about that. I only doubt my own decisions and thoughts, so I am praying that God's direction would be crystal clear to us, and that He would open and shut doors as need be. We just want to move on and get this chapter of our lives over with...as I've said numerous times lately.

Well...I'm off to do more school with the kids. Have a glorious day!
