The House

In my online Christmas letter (posted 2 days ago)  I put it in writing that I would love to buy mom's house but without selling the Greenview that just was not possible.  That I was going to leave this in God's hands and not worry about if the Greenview sold or if we should buy mom's house...

Then yesterday we got an offer on the Greenview.  Not a good offer, a ridiculous offer, an insulting offer.....an I'd rather stay in MY HOME then sell it to someone that doesn't value the worth her offer....


What an eye opener.  I love my house, I don't want to move, I want to stay right where I am.  I love that I am 10 minutes to the office.  I love the design and layout of my house.  I love that our children lived in this house with us and that our granddaughters have played with us here.  I love entertaining my family here.  I love that the back yard is a great place for kids to play.  Since moving in to this house I have wanted to grow old(er) with my husband in the comfort of this home.


Then this morning the daily verse from KLOVE was Psalms 147:5 "How great is our Lord! His power is absolute! His understanding is beyond comprehension!


So I ponder the "For Sale" sign in the front yard.  Do we stick with the selling price and so be it if our value of our home doesn't measure up to some buyers expectation?  Does leaving it in God's hands mean that we should counter and take a lower offer and move on? Or does this offer jolt us into seeing that we don't want to sell after all?  Or is this a spring board that will catapult us into to making decisions about our next temporary home?  It is all so confusing.

All of this is beyond my comprehension for sure. But it is such comfort knowing that God is the master conductor and with His orchestration what is decided it will be good.
