Life is so full of uncertainty.
Lately I have felt like there is a lot of that in our life. I feel I owe you all an update. It is long overdue.
Here goes…sigh
We bought an investment property in a town about 20 minutes from us right after Christmas last year. After spending most of our waking moments remodeling the house from the top to the bottom we listed it with a realtor (in April). We had an offer on it fairly quickly, however it fell through. We were optimistic and knew the right person would come along when the time was right. In May we had a second contract on the house. We have jumped through a lot of hoops and have yet to close on the house. We are being told it is only a matter of weeks now–praying that doesn’t change!
We hadn’t originally planned to move, however we decided that we were going to move to a town that is about 30 minutes from where we currently live. There is a small Christian school in that town, and it’s the town my husband grew up in. We lived there before moving here. After much talk and prayer, we decided to go for it. It did take us a few months to get our house finished and ready to sell, and 3 weeks ago we put the sign in the yard. We have received about 15 phone calls and 5 showings in that short period of time, however we are still waiting for an offer. I keep telling myself that we just haven’t had the right person through the house and that it’s not the house itself. To be honest, if the house wasn’t so old, I would just pick it up and move it so I didn’t have to find another.
That leaves me to our home search. We have been through house after house and every time we find something we love, it sells. There is one house that has been on the market almost as long as we have been looking, and it is still on the market. We love the house and know that it would be perfect for our family, however the price, we don’t love. We are scared to pay too much more for a house then what we are used to, especially since we are paying for private schooling now.
So here I sit, confused, unsure and questioning my every decision. I know that God will bless us with what is right for us, however it’s that darn patience thing that is getting to me. It’s trying to figure out exactly what God wants of us, and not just want WE think we NEED.
Have you ever been confused about decisions you are making in life?
