Hope or More Frustration

I've been waiting around all day for the deal to be officially over. I just now heard from my agent that they are still trying to work something out. Is this the miracle I was hoping for? Or are they just wasting more of our time? Our agent that is trying to help us buy a house is working with our agent who is trying to sell our house to help they buyers find someone to give them money. Also, they are talking with the appraiser to see if there is anything that can happen there, and they are still trying to come up with a down payment. So that's the deal. I would appreciate prayers for a miracle, but also prayers for patience and peace and whatever else it is that I need. Sanity maybe. Thanks.

(((((((hugs)))))

I read somewhere recently that: "God's answers are wiser than our questions." And I really believe that sometimes, when the desires of our heart are either denied or put on hold, God allows it for a reason that is beyond our understanding.

When Preston was laid off in 2000, it took three YEARS for him to find good permanent work again. We were baffled by why it took so long. Yet, later in retrospect, we could look back at the grueling aspects of that time and see how much we learned. Of course, we couldn't do that until recently. It took us to 2007 to see why the Lord allowed it to work that way, but some of it makes sense now.

God does love you. He loves you so much! Scripture is filled with accounts of His love for us. During this time of impatience and waiting and anxiety, I'd suggest reading the Psalms. If anyone knows about impatience and waiting and anxiety, it was King David, who suffered greatly and had a really rough go of it for a while. His Psalms are beautiful and sometimes put exactly into words what our heart is afraid to say. During all the rough times in my life, I have turned to the Psalms and have not felt alone anymore.

Peace & blessings,
Maria

I'm not pregnant, and it's not my life in limbo, and even I'm just torn up for you over this whole mess. I'll keep praying, for peace, for an answer, and yes, for a sale. And a little tranquility in there, somewhere. Keep us updated!

Wow, I miss a lot of the drama while at school. So sorry this is so hard for you. It would be for me but my mind is so into finishing this school year and surviving. God certainly does love you. It is just so hard not knowing what is going on on His side of the table while waiting for things to happen on our side of the table. Sorry I have set such a poor example on the faith/trust side of walking. Sorry that you had to live with so much disappointment while growing up too. Don't give up your dreams. And yes it is hard to be faithful when you are preggers or like me several years into the big M. Love you dear daughter.

About Me

Oh, the crazy things that happen in my house.... I am the wife of M for 8 1/2 years now. I am the mother of a 10 yo boy - D, 6 1/2 yo boy - N, 4 yo girl - Princess C, 2 1/2 yo boy -Toddler B, and girl Lil' L 1, and a new little blessing due Jan 31. I've been homeschooling since 2003. I lean towards a Charlotte Mason approach, but more often than not, it's "whatever works".
