Here we go ...

AGAIN!! We have signed another contract on our house. We are supposed to close on or before October 31. I’m not holding my breath! I am very nervous about having to go through this again, especially in such a short amount of time. Our home inspection is Saturday at 10:00. Please be in prayer for this. We are assuming that since we already had one home inspection go well that this one will too, but you never can be too sure! Have you heard the saying about what happens when you assume?
Anyway, it is exciting, but I think I had gotten used to the fact that we might be here awhile and so now I am wondering if I am really ready for this move!!! I know that God knows what He’s doing, even when I don’t so I have to trust Him fully, completely. Have you ever tried that? It’s not the easiest thing to do. If you don’t believe me, try it sometime!
He has been so good to us. I can’t even imagine why in the world He has been, especially when I don’t always give Him His due praise and thanks. It’s so amazing that we serve a God who loves us no matter what. I was thinking the other day about how frustrated He must get with us. You know how when you ask your kids to do something and they ask “why” or give you a reason they can’t or they simply get mad, whatever it is, they don’t immediately do what you’ve asked. You know how that makes you feel, right? Think about that from God’s perspective! He daily asks us to surrender to Him completely, and we come up with excuses. It makes me stop and think. What about you?
Anyway, that’s not really what I was going to say – maybe God just took over!!
We continue to ask for your prayers through this time in our lives, and we greatly appreciate all your prayers, thoughts, cards, and well wishes. We have great family and friends, and a wonderful church. We love you all.

We will definitely pray that everything will go smoothly this time. It is hard to remember that God's timing is always perfect especially when it doesn't correspond to our plans.
