After many months of consideration, several visits to look at a variety of properties, and a few "odd coincidences," we have decided to take the plunge and try selling our house. We signed all the paperwork last night [via the world wide web and a touchy mouse], and today our realtor came by to take the photos. The sign goes in the yard tomorrow. While it is a little bittersweet, since we really love our home, it is also something we feel like God is calling for us to do. Whether we sell or not, we are confident that we are walking the journey He has planned for us. It never ceases to amaze me how just when I think I have everything figured out, He goes and shakes it up a bit! I just can't help but chuckle when I sit back and really take in all the wonderful things God has done in our lives. Sometimes I can even feel the tears of joy welling up inside.
Of course we have no plan for where we will live if our house does sell. But we can rest assuredly knowing that our Father knows exactly how it will turn out. It may be a little nerve racking, but one of my favorite verses was brought to my attention this morning--Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean onto him and not your own understanding and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5,6
His word is always a place I can turn and find peace, because I know his plans are for good and not for evil to bring us a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11
May you find much peace and joy in your life as you decide to take a plunge yourself--whatever your plunge may be!
