I'm glad you did...I will offer a prayer for you to be able to get through this present challenge. I know how these things can get to us as time drags out and nothing happen!<br /><br />Hope you have a peaceful weekend!Kathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03160991705866488182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571481843444726418.post-43265159847943176582011-06-09T23:41:51.719-07:002011-06-09T23:41:51.719-07:00Jenny, I can truly say I have been there. In fact,...Jenny, I can truly say I have been there. In fact, just last month, I was still there. Trying to sell our house. Anytime some well-meaning person would say, It will sell in the perfect time, I had to practice not screaming at the top of my lungs. So I am not going to say that to you... but I will say this... you will survive. Although having a good scream or two just may help. :)<br />mollymolly b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07717602152925309989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571481843444726418.post-77665169914318711682011-06-09T19:43:50.521-07:002011-06-09T19:43:50.521-07:00The last time we sold a house it took 2 years on t...The last time we sold a house it took 2 years on the market. The whole time I was driving nearly an hour one way to my teaching job.<br /><br />My friends began to tell me that it "wasn't God's will for us to move." They said I'd made a mistake taking that job and that God didn't want me doing that.<br /><br />It hurt.<br /><br />I KNEW I was right where God wanted me to be and I couldn't understand why our house didn't sell.<br /><br />Well - - - it finally sold. We moved closer to my school. About three months after the sale was final, my husband had to stop working for three months - - - which meant his LARGE income was gone and we only had my TINY private school salary to "live" on.<br /><br />Guess what? The money from the sale of the house was still in the bank - - - it took nearly every penny of it, but we had money with which to live.<br /><br />God knew that was coming. He knew we would need that house money. Had our house sold sooner, we may have already invested that money in another house - - - and oh what a mess we would have been in.<br /><br />I learned that God has a time table that is far better than ours. What feels like a bitter delay to us is probably EXACTLY what we need and we just don't know it at the time. <br /><br />Trust Him. He knows your every need and He's supplying it.<br /><br />Hang in there - - - you can do this.Keetha Broyleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850398844489825600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571481843444726418.post-38914434440012427362011-06-09T11:41:29.029-07:002011-06-09T11:41:29.029-07:00Your authenticity once again is refreshing.

I think I can relate to what you are feeling - we have tried to sell our house a couple times in the last 18ish months - and the door hasn't opened. It is a tough place to be. I have a couple people I vent to about it - who let me cry when I need to. There are days when I say what the h-e-double-hockey-stick too, and then somehow I bounce back and am content with where He has us. Not trying to give any cookie-cutter answers - just want to let you know you are not alone.Amanda MacBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01333540126086381630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571481843444726418.post-56004924436944194702011-06-09T10:55:35.667-07:002011-06-09T10:55:35.667-07:00Could I possibly love you any more than I already ...Could I possibly love you any more than I already do? I didn't think so until I read this post. Check you out being all gloomy and using the hockey stick profanity. Someday, when you are all settled in your perfect little new home, i will remind you of this and you will crack yourself up.
