Welp, my parent's house has now been on the market for 6 months, and we have been in this process as a family for 18 months. The last report was that we had an offer, but her financing fell through so she was going to try to jump through some necessary hoops and make another offer. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but for whatever reason that has fallen through altogether.
We are back to square one. It's a little disappointing, and frankly, the whole process is a bit confusing. We have packed up and stored boxes of stuff, listed unwanted furniture on Craigslist, and put important purchases on hold in an attempt to be obedient to what we believe the Lord has asked. His timing is so different than what we would choose. It encourages (and also scares) me to remember that there was a gap of at least 15 years between the time that David was anointed King of Israel and the time that he actually became King.
We don't know what will happen, or when, but we cling to the hope that He knows what He's doing, and He knows the best way and time.
Brooke Fraser sings, "
As I wait for You, maybe I'm made more faithful." May that be true of us.
