Good Morning! Happy Thursday morning! I wanted to just take a minute to Thank you all so much for your prayers and support, whilst I continue searching for a place to call home. I, also, wanted to let you know just exactly where I'm at, right now. God's Grace and your prayers have provided me with an extension at my beautiful little home! You may or may not recall that I had only 60-days to try and locate and move into a new place to call home. If not, you can read about it here.
Well, something wonderful happened. I have packed 80% of my beautiful belongings up and purged like no other, allst while I had to have things somewhat tidy for the realtor to show my home to prospective buyers! Wheww! Not something I would care to go through again. But, here's the thing, the offers on the house were either too low for the current owner or contingent on some thing or another......bottom line: It has NOT sold, and I have been granted an extension through August 31st!! A good month and a half past my original move out date!
While a wonderful relief, I'm still in a holding pattern, here. Will I stay? Will he decide not to sell? Will he continue to rent to me? Or will he opt to have me out an increase rent? I don't know the answers to these questions, but I do know The One who has all the answers, so I am resting in His assuring arms and continuing to seek where this path leads.
Which leads me to ask of you, for just a little longer, for your continued prayers. I feel confident that God will put me where I am needed, just praying for a little peek into that insight. LOL My humanness wants the comfort of His knowledge. My Faith will keep me ready to accept His answers, when they come. Thank you all, again.
As I've said many times (though never easy to live) He never said that it would be comfortable, just that He would be with me. That is the only reason I am able to get from day-to-day. He is with us all through every trial on this earth.
God Bless you all, I am blessed and grateful for each and everyone of you!

Theresa, I thank God for your little "breather"; a chance to sit down for just a second and catch your breath. It always fascinates me how things develop. I never envisioned the house not selling. Just another reminder to me that God always, always knows more and has jillions more ideas than I do.
ReplyDeleteI am working on finding a good balance between being *just* concerned about things to stay in action about them, and not crossing over into too much worry about them.
I can also SO identify with being impatient about wanting to know. How often has God heard from me, "When, Lord, WHEN?"
In My perfect timing, that's when.
"Ugh. Your perfect timing is SLOW. Have you checked the batteries?"
He just laughs at me. :)
Thank you so much for the update, Theresa! Continuing prayers for you! ♥
Joy, God Bless you and Thank you! I love your heart and your honesty! I appreciate your wonderful comment, more than any words I can type, can ever express. I think we all give Him a good "Giggle" from time to time. Thank you so much for your continued prayers! The batteries were definitely burning out, so I am enjoying this breather, as you said! <3
DeleteLoving you dear lady...God works when we sometimes think He never heard us..and in HIs way. I need to email you the story of our dau's crazy move south In 2012 it was a nightmare but jaw dropping how God moved things into perfect place for them..I will email you sometime today God Bless
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Jonell! His way is always perfect, so I know I am in good hands. I can't wait to read the email. Thank you for your wonderful, loving support and prayers.
DeleteMany Blessings to you, as well!
Lovely blog and so very true. Knowing first hand exactly how Perfect God's Timing is, (http://ariete-pieterse.blogspot.com/2014/10/whyi-hear-you-ask-do-you-call-yourself.html) I still like to "kind of" have an hint as to when things will happen... so I can relate to your statement "My humanness wants the comfort of His knowledge"...But we are called to walk in faith...and when we do all things come together for those who love Him...
ReplyDeletehank you, Ariete! I am lucky to be walking in Faith. And, so grateful for people I encounter on the way, like you! :)
DeleteBlessings,
Theresa
Greetings! God is SO GOOD!!! Happy to hear that you have an extension on your stay there. I feel that where so ever God is moving you, or the landlord, isn't perfected as yet. God needs more time. And you get to reap the benefits! I, too, may be faced with having to move. It won't be a pretty or an easy thing as I tend to be a bit of a hoarder. UGH! I pray for Go'd continued guidance in your walk with Him. Please pray for me too? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Bonnie! I would be honored to pray the same for you. It is not fun and does not feel comfortable. But, what is of comfort, is that He Will be with us throughout our struggles.
DeleteGod Bless you, I pray you make a smooth transition.
