the ride

are you still out there? allen said i've lost all five of my readers because i've taken so long to update! sorry, it's just been a crazy few weeks.

have you ever felt like you were on a roller coaster but when you looked down you're pretty sure your feet are on the ground? that's what we've felt like for the past couple of weeks. the up and down of emtions of selling our house (sniff sniff) have about sent me over the edge.

someone is coming to see it! for a second time! they really like it! they have to make an offer by friday! it's between your house and another....!!!

oh by the way, they chose the other.

and we're back to square one. roller coaster.

don't get me wrong, i know God has the buyer for our house. He knows who it is, what their needs are and how this house will bless them. and intertwined with His plan for them is His plan for us. He knows our needs and He already knows how He will bless us and take care of us. i find comfort that i serve a God who is all-knowing and, whose ways are higher than my ways and whose thoughts are not my thoughts. i think that is what keeps me sane. rather than operate and try to figure this out in my selfish and self-serving flesh, making it happen for me me me, i can trust that His thoughts and plans are working for us, on our behalf, and He knows what is best for our family.

so we continue our ride on the roller coaster.

did i mention the plans for this week? someone called and wants to see our house! they've looked at everything else in their price range! they have to make an offer by friday!

i can't wait until the roller coaster feels more like this little boat ride. no ups, no downs, just smooth sailing!
