Update on “Move”

17 06 2008

I want to thank all of you who showed such excitement about our “moving” plans!  But, as I had said, we left the situation in God’s hands, and this time he answered with a ‘no’.

We had a great open house that Sunday, and had several interested buyers.  But the next morning, the people we were buying the property from, called and said they had another buyer who didn’t have to sell another property in order to purchase theirs.  According to our contract, that then gave us two days to either follow through with our offer, or let it go to the other buyers.  Jay and I prayed and discussed wether to contact the people who were interested in our house, … or leave it in God’s hands …. if our buyers called in the two days, … then the move was meant to happen…. if they did not, … it wasn’t.  So that’s what we did.  Our buyers didn’t call.  SO, for now, we’re staying put, and although I am disappointed, I want to thank and praise God for knowing what is best for us, and keeping us from making mistakes.  It has taken me 41 years to figure out that what I ‘want’ isn’t always what I ‘need’ … and it is a tremendous stress reliever to be able to let God direct my plans, rather than having to worry about whether I’ve “got it right” or not.  And hey, it’s kind of exciting to see what He will have around the corner for us!  We’ll see!

May each of you experience the joy of walking in His footsteps!
