A Trying Time
As you probably know, this whole moving process has been pretty rough for the whole family. We get a call from people who want to see the house and clean it so it is spotless. The people come, look, and decide it's nice, but they don't want it. Or, they don't even come at all! A few people have really wanted it, but it never worked out.
We are coming up on August, and honestly, all of us thought we would be gone by now! It is so hard to wait and see what God's will is. The only thing we know for sure right now is that He doesn't want us to move yet! Thankfully, we do know that His will is good. That is such a relief in this trying time!
All five of us have grown during this process. We have learned so much on trusting God alone and not depending on ourselves, because obviously, we can't do it! My mom said tonight that if our house had sold only a few weeks after we put it up for sale, we might think, Well, it's a nice house! Why wouldn't it sell? Our selfish sin nature is so quick to say "me, me, me," and leave God out of it.
We have also learned A LOT about patience! Most times we have a showing we try not to think much of it so that our hopes aren't dashed, but we still wait anxiously for a call from our realtor. We certainly have been doing a lot of praying too, and we thank you for your support. I know my friends have been a big help to me!
Well, tonight we had another showing. So it begins again.
