I shared in my last post about the puppy I had put a deposit on, in hopes that we'd be moved by the time it was old enough for us to pick it up.
Well, that time is soon coming and we needed to decide if I should let it go, or discuss having the puppy flown out to us here.
Despite the fact that we'd like to be moved by the end of this month (that would take a REAL miracle!) we know that it's not likely to happen, and life must go on. Decisions have to be made, changes dealt with, life simply goes on.
We did indeed get an extention on the sale of our home, for the offer in on the other house, but, that extention will once again be over in just 13 short days. I suppose on the 25th, we'll once again ask for another one month extention. Hopefully they accept. I'm sure they will, unless they've had other bites on the house. If they do accept, that will give us yet another month, but after that, it will soon become time to consider removing the house off the market again, for winter.
Travelling 3000 miles/5000 KM, including through the Rockies, isn't something we want to consider doing during winter weather. Especially when it also involves moving 5 horses.
I don't know what time will bring. I don't know if we will end up here for yet another winter. I won't lie. I'm getting to the point where I have no idea what God is doing in our lives. We are told to have faith, and I'm beginning to think I have no clue what faith really is. If anyone knows, in laymans terms, please do share. I'm becoming more confused by what faith must really mean, by the day.
Faith in what? That there is a God? No, that can't be faith because even satan believes there is a God.
That God will make things ok? No, that can't be what faith is because people loose their children to death, and are told to have faith, so having faith can't mean believing that everything will be 'ok' because loosing a child, or any loved one, certainly isn't 'ok'.
Is faith beliving God will be with us through it all?
Oh boy, I feel like I'm sounding like some new baby Christian that doesn't know what's what. That's not it though. It's a deeper level I'm searching for I guess? I'm not happy with just 'pat' answers. I want to know the depth of the meaning.
What is faith? What is it to have faith? True faith. Not what man often makes up as being faith, but true faith that Jesus teaches of.
I think I need to get digging through Jesus's words for the answers.
Anywho....
Enough deep ponderings for the moment.
On a more simple note, we made the decision that life goes on, I've waited to get a puppy now for well over a year, so the puppy will be the newest member of our family possibly next Sunday. 
I'm sure I'll share photos after his arrival.
Some might say we're crazy, adding another pet to our family when we know we could move at any time. If that is crazy, then I guess that's what we are.
