I saw this quote today and it made me smile.
Let us be grateful to people who make us happy - they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. ~Marcel Proust
Lately, we've been pondering a potential move, as several opportunites have presented themselves, recently. I cannot believe It was almost 2 years ago that we moved here to this house with the goal of being debt free. We knew this house had some issues and we knew that these issues would not be fixed, but we felt and still do, that this house was hand picked for us by God. But what if it is time to move on?
I am never very sure how to figure out God's will for me. Usually, I make a decision and hope for the best. Then the feedback tells me if I was right or wrong. Then I usually have to live with the consequences until it is feasable to make changes. This house could be one of those situations.
Really, we are blessed to be here. I have always wanted to live in this town. We have great neighbors. We have a nice situation, except for the winterizing and updating that need to be done. We've enjoyed being close to the Monon Trail. We've enjoyed the library more than words can say. The kids love it here. We have just enough. I could stay here another couple years when our plan is complete.
However, some friends of ours from church are moving out of state and I have always liked their house. They have asked us to consider their house. They would feel better about moving, knowing a trusted friend is caring for their beloved home. We are all praying about it. It would be closer to church and work. It is a little larger and in much better shape than this house. It is also on the Monon Trail, just about 5 or 6 miles south of where we are now. It actually borders the trail. It is also closer to my parents. And it would be the same price as here because this is a more expensive area, which sometimes depresses me. Living here among the advantaged, the prices of everything are more expensive. I drive to another town to buy groceries cheaper.
So...if it is His will for us, then let it be. I am content to stay or go. Pray for us all to have wisdom in this situation. I appreciate all prayers so much. Thank you.
UPDATE:
It's a go! We are moving the end of May. Please pray for the other family, as they have decided to try to find a house in TX instead of moving into the condo that the father is now renting. They would like to find a house quickly, before spring break when the mom plans to bring the first load. :-) We are so excited. I am purging away like a mad woman. I am not going to have to be cold another winter! Yippee! |
