An update

I haven't been so great about keeping up with daily writing here. I really don't know why. Every once in a while an idea for a journal entry will pop into my head, and then I'll forget it by the time I sit down that evening with my cup of decaf.

But, I figure I really should try harder, even if I write much ado about nothing. Hee hee! Even if for no one else, but myself.

Well first off, no, we are not moved yet and no our house has not sold, however, we have put an offer in, which has been accepted, on our possible new home!

Welcome to (Lord willing):

Finally
HOME
stead

That's the name we've chosen for our future home. I think it's quite fitting really.

For the past 18 years we've been searching for 'home', and we believe we may have Finally found it!

Continued prayers from my dear friends is MUCH appreciated.
We have one obstacle in our way, and that is getting our place sold. That's certainly no obstacle for God though. We know if this is all meant to be, everything will fall into place. In the meantime, we're keeping the faith that this IS our future home.

If it's not, Lord be with me when You tell me no. LOL
Then I'll be asking even more anxiously for prayer, to keep my sanity intact!

It's quite funny really, we almost KNOW that there's things happening behind the scenes. Too many little things for me to share that wouldn't make a whole lot of sense without going into great elaborate details, but, little things like this one incident that happened just the other day.

Our realtor works for a realstate company. The company recently had their entire website revamped. Great changes, as I found the previous site to be quite 'under-whelming' and we were not impressed with the size of photos and the limited write ups about the homes this company had for sale, including ours of course.

So the other day, I mozy (is that how you spell it?) on over to the site and notice everything has changed and the site looks great! I type in our realtors name to find her listings. Lo and behold, guess what? Our listing is missing. Our home is no where to be found.

When the site had been revamped, all our information, the entire listing, had all been deleted. I suppose they were deleting sold listings and ours just happened to get in the way of the deletion process.

In whatever the case may be, I found it quite humorous.
Throughout this entire process it's been one difficult step after another, yet with God's peace through it all, and all along I've said; "This place IS going to sell DESPITE all of this!"

I'm standing fast on that. I have to!
