So, we have our house up for sale, and it has been for almost 2 months now. We have a contract on another home on 1 acre that we love. We have had 2 showings in 2 months time, and sometimes it is SO hard to be patient. I would say that it is not hard to TRUST that the Lord will do what He wants to do in our situation, but sometimes my actions speak otherwise, and that is what this blog is about.
When we put our house up for sale, 3 friends on FB put theirs up about the exact same time. All three of them sold their homes in the FIRST WEEK of it on the market! I saw one of those friends at the mall today, and it just put me in a spin of: WHAT ARE WE DOING WRONG?
Sometimes as women, our fear makes us try to take control of our situations. And that is sadly what I did today. I came home from the mall, and just started grasping for any reason why our house is not selling, out of fear. I looked at all the numbers, shared it on FB, and then wrote my realtor an email asking for insight into what is going wrong. I was in fear, and I chose to take control in any way that I could. It is an ABSOLUTELY out of my control situation, but I am trying in some way to control it! Dang.
I wanted so bad to take that email back and apologize to my realtor. But as soon as I realized what that email really represented, which was me trying to take control, I asked forgiveness from the One that I really owed it to. If I am going to trust Him FULLY, I need to heed all control to Him. It is out of my control, but my selfishness was trying to gain some. Not cool self. Not cool.
Lord, I do pray that you would forgive me for when I tried to take control of this situation. Help me to see when I do this again, and in other situations. I trust YOU. I trust YOU. I look forward to seeing your love, and faithfulness to me and my family through the outcome of this whole situation, whatever that outcome may be. I love you.
... Heather
