Tales From the Den

July 30, 2006 - Still here, treading water

Well! July has come and nearly gone without so much as a single blog post until today. Ever have one of those seasons so full of drama that you can't even bring yourself to share it? That's where I'm at.

As the home-selling drags on with no start date for hubby's new job, a move up north hardly seems real right now. Are we in God's will and supposed to just patiently trust? I can do that. Did we make things happen in spite of His will and end up on a dead end? I'm willing to turn around. The hardest part is not knowing which it is. And so, I've asked for a sign. It doesn't have to be something huge and amazing, though I'd certainly accept that from God. I just want to hear the creak of a door or the sliding of a window.

In the meantime, I need to find a polite, pat answer for all the people who continually ask if we've had any offers on the house. Obviously, if we've had an acceptable offer, I will be shouting it from the rooftop! But how to say that? Simply saying "no" tends to invite advice or discussion, and I'm not really up to it most of the time. If you have some clever idea, please share!

You could put a "Free to Good People" ad in the paper. We got the best dog on earth from an ad in the paper.

August 22, 2006 - clever comment

Hey, sorry I don't stop by your blog much. I'm not much of a computer person. But I'm glad I did today. I am so there about "are we following God's will or are we forcing things to happen?" The age old question of wait or work. Anyway, here's my answer whenever I get questioned about moving or building on our land--(let me preface by saying I usually say "We're not sure")--I now say "The only thing we're sure of is that we are NOT sure when." And I have said "We derive our stability in that we are in a constant state of LIMBO!"

Also congrats to you guys on the fair winnings and I hope I wasn't one of the reasons Lynae didn't get her cross stitch done!! My house--it's the Black Hole!

October 2, 2006 - Important

Here is an article that I think you should see. It is very important and I believe everybody here should read it. This is not a hoax and is an issue that we need people to take seriously.
Ignorance isn't bliss, its deadly.
